Frequently asked questions
Can I use either guitar for metal and progressive music?
Yes, both are explicitly designed for metal and progressive genres. The C-1 FR-S excels in traditional metal and hard rock with dynamic pitch effects. The KM-7 MK-III EX is engineered for djent and progressive metal that uses lower 7-string tunings and drop tunings.
What's the main tuning difference between these guitars?
The C-1 FR-S is a standard 6-string at 25.5" scale suited for standard or drop tunings. The KM-7 MK-III EX is a 7-string baritone also at 25.5" scale, providing a lower B string and tonal range for aggressive drop-tuned and extended-range work.
Which has better tuning stability?
The KM-7 MK-III EX includes two carbon fiber rods in the neck specifically for tuning stability across seven strings in lower tunings. The C-1 FR-S uses a Floyd Rose locking system and TonePros tuners, which maintain stability but require active management during tremolo use.
Are these B-stock guitars reliable, or should I worry about the condition?
B-stock typically indicates minor cosmetic blemishes or open-box returns with full hardware function. Both retain professional-grade construction, electronics, and playability; the same retailer sells them, so check their specific B-stock return policy for peace of mind.
