Frequently asked questions
Why are these guitars built for different skill levels?
The C-6 Deluxe's thin 'C' neck, responsive frets, and 25.5" scale are optimized for beginners learning foundational technique and intermediate players refining control. The C-7 Deluxe's longer 26.5" scale, extended 7-string range, and higher-output pickups require intermediate to advanced technique to manage the extra string and tonal complexity.
What is the main playability difference between the two?
The C-6 Deluxe uses a 25.5" scale with 14" fretboard radius, while the C-7 Deluxe extends to 26.5" scale with a 16" radius fretboard. The longer scale on the C-7 tightens string tension for cleaner low-end definition across seven strings, whereas the C-6's shorter scale and tighter radius favor faster single-note work and bending on six strings.
Which guitar is better for metal?
Both suit metal, but differently. The C-6 Deluxe works well for traditional rock and metal foundations, while the C-7 Deluxe is purpose-built for modern metal subgenres—djent, progressive, and hard rock—where the seventh string and articulate, high-output tone are expected standard tools.
Can a left-handed player use the C-7?
The C-7 is configured for right-handed players only. If you are left-handed and want a 7-string, you would need to source a left-handed 7-string model; the C-6 Deluxe is your left-handed option in this comparison.
