Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between 7-string and 6-string setups?
The KM-7 MK-III adds a seventh string tuned lower (typically B) for extended-range djent and progressive metal; the C-1 FR-S is a traditional 6-string that covers metal to hard rock with greater established genre overlap. Choose 7-string if tuning down for heavier, more complex harmonic work is your goal.
Why does one have a tremolo and the other doesn't?
The C-1 FR-S includes a Floyd Rose 1500 Series double-locking tremolo for extreme whammy-bar techniques and pitch manipulation; the KM-7 MK-III uses a Hipshot Hardtail bridge for rock-solid tuning stability without tremolo functionality. Tremolos add versatility but require more maintenance; hardtails are simpler and more stable.
Which pickup system is more versatile?
The C-1 FR-S's Fishman Fluence Modern pairing (bridge humbucker plus Sustainiac neck pickup) covers aggressive high-gain and sustain-driven ambient textures in one guitar. The KM-7 MK-III's dual Lundgren M7 pickups are optimized specifically for modern heavy music and complex harmonic clarity on extended-range instruments.
Are these guitars suitable for left-handed players?
The KM-7 MK-III is explicitly a left-handed model; the C-1 FR-S is a standard right-handed configuration. If you play left-handed, the KM-7 is your only option between these two.
