Frequently asked questions
Which guitar is better for metal and shredding?
The PT FR-S SLS Elite Evil Twin is purpose-built for metal with its neck-through design, ultra-thin neck profile, Floyd Rose tremolo, and Sustainiac neck pickup for endless sustain and aggressive expression. The Solo-II Supreme excels in blues and rock but lacks the extended-range capabilities and tremolo system needed for modern metal.
Which works better for blues and traditional rock?
The Solo-II Supreme delivers warm, articulate blues and rock tones through its mahogany body, Lundgren Black Heaven pickups, and traditional set-neck construction with a thicker "C" profile. The PT FR-S's high-output, midrange-focused voice and aggressive electronics suit metal far more than vintage-oriented playing styles.
What is the key difference in neck design?
The PT FR-S SLS Elite Evil Twin uses a neck-through design with an ultra-thin 19mm–20mm profile optimized for speed and upper-fret shredding, while the Solo-II Supreme has a traditional set-neck with a thicker "C" profile suited to controlled, expressive playing. Both feature 12"–16" compound radius ebony fretboards.
How do the electronics compare?
The PT FR-S offers dual-voice Fishman Fluence ceramics with push/pull and Sustainiac neck pickup for feedback manipulation and sustain control. The Solo-II Supreme provides Lundgren Black Heaven pickups with volume/volume/tone and coil-splitting for intuitive pickup blending and classic tonal shaping.
