Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for blues and jazz?
The Solo-II Supreme is designed explicitly for blues and jazz, with warm midrange, natural sustain, and responsive dynamics from Lundgren pickups and traditional set-neck construction. The PT FR-S SLS Elite is voiced for high-gain metal and djent and is not recommended for these genres.
What is the key difference in tremolo and tuning stability?
The PT FR-S SLS Elite features a Floyd Rose 1500 series locking tremolo and locking nut, allowing aggressive divebombs and pitch manipulation while maintaining tuning stability. The Solo-II Supreme uses a TonePros Tune-O-Matic bridge and tailpiece, which provide stable tuning but no tremolo system.
How do the neck profiles and playability compare?
The PT FR-S SLS Elite has an ultra-thin 19mm–20mm 'C' profile designed for speed and extended upper-fret access. The Solo-II Supreme has a thicker 'C' profile optimized for traditional rock and blues playing with a 24.75-inch scale, making it feel more substantial in the hand.
Which guitar offers more pickup flexibility?
The PT FR-S SLS Elite provides dual-voice switching through a Fishman Fluence Modern bridge pickup with push/pull control, plus a Sustainiac neck pickup with mini-toggles for infinite sustain. The Solo-II Supreme offers coil-splitting via push/pull tone control with a simpler volume/volume/tone layout, suited to traditional rock and blues tones.
