Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for shredding and position shifts?
Both feature 24 X-Jumbo frets, 25.5" scale, and thin C profiles. The Evil Twin's 0.748"-0.787" neck taper is slightly slimmer at the 1st fret, while the FR S measures 0.787"-0.866". The Evil Twin edges out for pure speed; the FR S supports equally fast playing with slightly more mass for stability.
What's the main tone difference?
The Evil Twin combines ceramic bridge clarity with alnico warmth for balanced articulation. The FR S pairs a USA Apocalypse VI bridge humbucker with a Sustainiac for high-output aggression plus feedback/sustain effects—better for chaotic or ambient textures.
Do these guitars have tremolo systems?
The Evil Twin has no tremolo—fixed bridge only. The FR S includes a Floyd Rose 1500 Series bridge for whammy, dive-bomb, and dive-recover effects.
Which construction method is better?
Neck-thru (Evil Twin) maximizes direct sustain transfer; set-neck (FR S) offers a slight midrange warmth and easier repair if neck damage occurs. Both use carbon fiber reinforcement for stability. Choice depends on whether you prioritize sustain resonance or practical repairability.
