An "Evil Twin" Designed for the 8-String Era in the SLS Elite Range
The C-8 SLS MS Elite Evil Twin fits the SLS (Slim Line Series) spirit: a decidedly modern electric guitar designed for guitarists seeking fast ergonomics, a sleek "Satin Black" finish, and a reliable platform for high-saturation tones. Its multi-scale approach and neck-thru construction make it a particularly coherent model to exploit the extended range of an 8-string with maximum control.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
This Schecter is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want an effective 8-string for both studio and stage. It excels in modern metal, djent, prog, death metal, and all styles demanding tight lows, great palm-mute clarity, and complex chords that remain defined.
Sound
The Fishman Fluence Modern duo delivers a very fast response and excellent note separation: the ceramic magnet at the bridge favors attack, precision, and bite for tight rhythms, while the Alnico magnet at the neck offers a rounder, more articulated register for leads and thicker textures. The Volume and Tone controls with push-pull functions allow access to multiple voices, and the 3-position selector facilitates transitions between riff, solo, and intermediate sounds. The multi-scale enhances low-end stability, with a more natural feel in the highs for fast runs.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original balance, you can opt for a set of Ernie Ball 8-String Skinny Top Heavy Bottom #2624 strings with gauges .009/.012/.016/.026/.036/.046/.064/.080. Also plan for a quality 9V battery for the active electronics.
