Description The FGN Expert Elan Dark Evolution 7-string in Purple Satin is a top-tier instrument that blends innovative design with professional-grade performance. Built in Japan, it features FGN’s signature Circle Fretting System (CFS), which improves tuning stability and intonation by using slightly curved frets. The guitar’s Mahogany body, carved Maple top, and Quarter-sawn maple set-neck deliver a resonant, punchy tone, while the maple fretboard provides a smooth playing surface with a 17″ radius, making it ideal for fast runs and comfortable chord playing. Equipped with Seymour Duncan Blackout pickups (or optional alternatives), the Dark Evolution offers a versatile sonic range from crisp cleans to aggressive high-gain tones. This model is fitted with high-quality Gotoh hardware, including locking tuners and a stable hardtail bridge, making it a reliable choice for stage and studio use. Its premium build quality and feature set position it in the high-end category, perfect for players seeking superior craftsmanship and performance. This is our first Axe Palace exclusive guitar built in conjunction with FGN guitars. FGN is best known as the factory that makes Ibanez J-Custom/Prestige guitars, Japanese Jackson/Charvel guitars, Japanese Fender guitars, and more. These are their unique “in house” models which have great quality and a more reasonable price.
