I just got this guitar yesterday. I got the black fade burst and the quality is second to none! I love it. I have owned and played Ibanez's all my life. This is my first guitar with an active pup and brand and I am sold on Schecter's. Professionally built. It is right up there with and Ibanez Prestige model. A 3000.00 guitar for 1500.00 I LOVE it! Thanks for the video, I was trying to figure out all the modes for the Sustainiac and the Fishman. I was a little disappointed that it didn't come with a manual.

Word up Matthew Onusz !! Congrats on the new Evil twin, and I agree with all you said! What a wonderfully built guitar, and so easy to work on and dial in! I get ya on having no manual with the guitar, it seems to be a thing of the past... but I believe that a few hours of tinkering around with the sustainiac will get you where you want to go for sure! (That's what I did!) I also have a couple Ibanez guitars, and I love them too!! Thanks so much for checking out the vid, and for adding a great comment to the conversation!!! I wish you and your new axe the best, sending Awesome Vibes your way, and Rock On!!! 🧚🏻♂🤘🏻

Great video thanks alot , thats a hell of a guitar ....i think i´m getting this . The only thing which bugs me off is the fact it comes in a cardbox . You get an Ibanez Prestige for about the same money in a hard case ....well the Prestige isnt neck thru and not with stainless steel frets ....so i think they passed on the case to put all quality into the guitar itself neck thru and stainless steel . The inlays looking stunning as well , i´m more a fan of gigbags anyways . Thanks alot again ...i got the choice between 5 different guitars . Ya know its always a tough choice , but i think the schecter gonna make the race ...what a piece of art . Greetings from Germany \m/

Worrrd up Anton!! I know, the choices we have to make, right?!?! Haha!! I think you're right about them eliminating the case to bring the costs down, as I remember a time when it seemed like that it was pretty standard for guitars, especially at this price point, to come with cases. I have a couple decent cases I use to transport whatever axe I'm into at the moment, but I miss the days when they came with one. I got a PRS SE custom Tremonti, and it came in a really nice gig bag. I wish more companies did that, at least ESP and Schecters!! The Evil Twin is probably my favorite axe in my collection, still to this time. It's just so sweet, I love the look, and really did the inlays. And that Fishman Modern pickup at the bridge, ohhh man! If you're into rock and metal, and I'm betting you are, it is so friggin' awesome!! Good luck with your choices, and I hope the one you end up with is super wicked sweet!!! Rock On!!! 🧚🏻♂🤘🏻

Now, I can't say I tried to 'slam' the strings to the absolute minimum, as some players like, but I will say that tuning and dialing in this guitar is easy on a guitar tech. The spoke wheel adjustment near the pick-ups is much like any pro gear for musicians on the road touring and making constant adjustments. I feel confident in saying you could get this where you want as long as you spent the quality time on you're initial set-up. I hope that helps!! 🤘🏻

Hello there! It is really good review and the axe looks amazing. I just have one more thing to ask how does sustanic perform as a humbucker when it is not active? Never had the sustanic before and just cant decide wheather I want to have one or to take the fluence as the neck humbucker.
@tinkerbell4896
2 жыл бұрын
Word up! Thanks for those kind words. I really appreciate it! To compare the Sustainiac as a humbucker to the Fishman is a little bit opinion, and the FF modern is one of my favorite pickups, so there's that. However, playing around with a Sustainiac as the sustainer and feedback modes is sooo fun, especially in quieter or studio settings. If you could find a way to play with one to decide if that's what you wanted might be the way to go. With that said, it is a decent humbucking pickup when off. It is a really cool feature and a lot of fun when you're using it tho!! Haha, I'm not sure I really answered your question... but if you were not interested in the Sustainiac at all, I would definitely go with another pickup in its place. If you're into the Sustainiac, I think you'll find the humbucker in it is decent. Thanks again for the great question and cool comment, sending some Awesome Vibes your way, and Rock On!!! 🧚🏻♂🤘🏻

Can you explain how those Floyd Locking Nuts work? Have seen them on these guitars-but do not know the purpose. Are they loosened when replacing strings? Thanks and Happy New year
@tinkerbell4896
Жыл бұрын
Word up Michael, and Happy New Year to you too! Yes, the locking nuts are removed when you replace the strings, and then tightened up on the new ones. The purpose of them is to 'lock' the string in place, so when you're bending the strings with the whammy bar, it isn't decompressing and re compressing the string coiled around the tuners. This helps with the tuning stability of the guitar. Great question! Rock on!!!

Looking to get another guitar in the stable-this one will be for metal like sounding arrangements I have floating thru my brain. Tone and tuning stability are a major factor-as is the proverbial budget concerns. The style of neck and the Sustainiac pickup along with the Fishman is what drew me to this guitar (also, the color and shape looks bad-ass)🤣 Think I am going to pull the trigger on this. Thanks again. Best regards and "turn it up"🤘🤘👍

How does it work for tuning up and down from Drop C to Standard D?
@tinkerbell4896
2 жыл бұрын
Word up Brian! This is a great question, and the big issue with changing tuning on this exact axe is the Floyd Rose Trem system on it. Since it is balanced on springs so you can dive down and pull up, changing tuning on one string changes the tension on all the strings, so you have to retune everything until you have your balance back on the trem system. So that can take some time to switch between the two tunings. If this was something you already knew, and the question was more about how stable the guitar was, the Evil Twin is a really stable axe. Once I had the set-up on it where I wanted, I have never had to change anything. With winter coming soon and the weather changes, I can feel some of the other guitars around here are going to need a minor set-up, but this one is still stable. It's easily one of the best guitars I own and have played. I hope that answered your question! I'd like to help, so if there's more to it, let me know! And thanks so much for checking out the vid, and leaving a great question, it truly means a lot to me! I'll be sending some good vibes your way, and of course, Rock On!!! 🧚🤘🏻

Worrd up Aiden! The neck is quite strong, and also there is a double action truss rod in the neck, so for whatever tuning you're going for, you're able to dial in the relief anywhere you like it. I would call myself more of a rhythm player than lead, and it fits me well. However, how things feel to each player varies so greatly... including neck radius, set up , fret height, etc... it would be great if you could get your hands on one to play for a lil to see what you think. Short answer, yeah I like it haha! Rock on!! 🧚🏻♂

Word up John tk-Ankit! Well, this guitar doesn't have a reverse headstock. A reverse headstock, sometimes lovingly referred to as the hockey stick, has the tuners on the bottom side.

So crazy that you mention the inlays, as I've been checking out the LTD Black Metal guitars, and would love one of those, but I need another guitar like a hole in my head!!... Anyway, it has no inlays in it, and I really love the look of that just like you said. I just usually use the side markers of the edge of the fretboard, and am rarely looking right down on the frets. The roman numerals are a cool artistic touch to the typical dots or other marks they put in there, and the glow in the dark side markers are fantastic, so at least it's not too generic!!
