The SLS Elite Series: the "shred" evolution of the C-1 / C-7
Following the legacy of the famous C-1 and C-7, the SLS Elite range takes the concept further with a decidedly high-performance approach: gradient finishes that highlight the flamed maple carved tops, speed-oriented ergonomics, and gear designed for modern techniques. This 7-string version with Floyd Rose 1500 Series is aimed at those who want a responsive, precise guitar ready for both stage and studio.
A 7-string designed for demanding musicians (metal, prog, djent, modern rock)
With its ultra-thin neck, 26.5" / 673 mm scale length, and Floyd Rose, this guitar clearly targets the intermediate to advanced level (and motivated beginners already comfortable with setting up a floating vibrato). It excels in modern metal, prog, djent, metalcore, technical rock, and broadly anywhere attack, definition, and a clean low register are needed. The 3-position selector and push-pull controls (volume/tone) facilitate switching from massive riffs to clearer, more "glassy," or sharper tones depending on the chosen voicing.
Sound: precision, dynamics, and versatility thanks to the Fishman Fluence Modern duo
The sonic heart of this model lies in two Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers (ceramic and alnico magnets), designed to maintain clarity even with gain. The two voicings allow switching from a "modern active" response (sharp attack, controlled compression, tight lows) to a more "passive" approach (more organic dynamics, more open grain). A high-frequency filter is also included to recover more bass, along with a 6 dB gain reduction useful for balancing levels between rhythm parts and more nuanced sounds. Finally, the split with coil selection opens finer, snappier textures, useful for arpeggios, precise cleans, or cutting through a dense mix.
On the luthiery side, the neck-through design promotes generous sustain and good uniformity across the entire range, while the ebony fingerboard provides a sharp attack and excellent definition. The swamp ash body contributes to a balance that remains clear in the lows (a key point for 7-strings), with present mids and a dynamic response pleasing for both palm mutes and open chords.
