Frequently asked questions
Which is better for funk and rock?
Both excel in funk and rock. The Evil Twin-4 has a dedicated Funk voicing on its Fishman switch, while the Reaper-5 Lefty relies on its Darkglass EQ for mid and bass shaping. The Evil Twin-4 is simpler for plug-and-play funk consistency.
Who should pick the five-string option?
The Reaper-5 Lefty's extra string suits progressive rock, metal, and jazz fusion players who need lower register extension. It is also the only choice here for left-handed players.
How do the necks differ?
The Evil Twin-4 features a neck-thru with maple/walnut/padauk multi-ply and thin C contour; the Reaper-5 Lefty uses a maple neck with walnut stringers and also thin C profile. The Reaper-5 Lefty's 35" scale is longer than the Evil Twin-4's 34", providing more reach and string tension.
Which has more tone-shaping power?
The Reaper-5 Lefty's Darkglass 18v EQ with three-band mid control offers deeper tonal surgery than the Evil Twin-4's 2-band EQ. However, the Evil Twin-4's three Fishman voicing switch positions provide quick genre-specific presets without menu diving.
