Frequently asked questions
What's the main tonal difference between these two?
The Rob Scallon uses passive Schecter Diamond pickups through a Swamp Ash body for balanced, warm clarity across genres. The Ernie C uses active EMG pickups through Mahogany for higher output and tighter, more aggressive definition optimized for heavy styles.
Which has better neck comfort for speed playing?
The Ernie C's Ultra Thin C-profile (.748" at 1st fret) is specifically engineered for speed, while the Rob Scallon uses a standard C-shape that balances comfort with versatility. Players seeking maximum speed typically prefer the Ernie C's thinner profile.
Are the fretboards different?
Both have 24 jumbo frets on ebony, but the Rob Scallon has a consistent 14" radius, while the Ernie C uses a compound radius (12"–16") that curves more at the headstock for easier open chords and flatter toward the body for easier bending.
Which is better for styles beyond metal?
The Rob Scallon suits progressive and hard rock with cleaner tones due to its passive coil-splitting and balanced Swamp Ash tone. The Ernie C is optimized specifically for metal and hard rock, making it less ideal for jazz or blues applications.
