Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference in how these guitars handle tone shaping?
The Evil Twin has independent push/pull controls on both volume and tone knobs, allowing more granular pickup voicing combinations. The SLS Custom uses push/pull controls primarily for coil-split functionality, offering sonic variety through standard 3-way toggle switching plus coil-split options rather than independent voicing on separate pots.
Which is better for touring and live performance?
The SLS Custom includes Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dots for visibility in poor stage lighting and Schecter locking tuners paired with the hardtail bridge for maximum tuning stability during long tours. The Evil Twin doesn't mention glow-in-dark markers, making the SLS Custom the safer choice for frequent gigging.
Are the necks and playability identical between these two?
Both feature ultra-thin C-profile necks, 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets, 12"-16" compound radius, and 25.5" scale length. The Evil Twin specifically states 0.748" at the 1st fret and 0.787" at the 12th fret, while the SLS Custom doesn't list exact measurements, though the profile design is comparable.
Do both guitars have the same pickup configuration?
Both use dual Fishman Fluence Modern pickups with ceramic bridge and alnico neck. The key difference is how you access and layer the voicing options: the Evil Twin's independent push/pull controls on volume and tone provide more preset combinations, while the SLS Custom's coil-split system offers flexibility through fewer independent controls.
