Can you explain the differences to someone who knows FK all about electric guitars?
Sure,
The first two, FGS and HTS models are built on a 25½" scale. Other than the body shape, hardware colour and the fact that the HTS has neck binding, these two models are the same. The 25½" scale has a 'twangy-er' sound to it than that of the shorter scale models. These models have a 22 fret bolt on maple neck with a satin/oiled finish, a basswood body and a hard tail tune-o-matic style bridge with no tail piece (strings run through the body).
The electronics include two zebra himbuckers and a single coil. They have a five-way selector switch, 1 volume and two tone controls. The bridge pickup is not affected by either tone control in the standard wiring configuration.
The HLS Model is a soft-tail (trem or vibrato system equiped). It is built on a 24.75" scale and the 22 fret maple neck is set. The body is basswood and it has a flamed maple venner on top, with abolone laced body binding. This guitar is equiped with locking tuners and a graphtech trem nut to compliment the tremolo system and stabalize the tuning when it is used.
The electronics include two zebra humbuckers, a three way toggle switch and a volume and tone on the output in their stock configuration.
The SS6 is more or less a metal/shreder style guitar. It has a 24 fret 25½" scale bolt on maple neck with a satin/oiled finish. The body is made of basswood, is contoured and very hard to get an accurate photograph of the lines. The bridge is a licenced Floyd Rose with the standard acompanying locking nut.
The electronics are two hot humbucking pickups with a three way selector switch and 1 volume and tone on the output.
To sum things up, the FGS and HTS models have the most versatile pickup configurations of all of the models and are built on a longer scale. The HLS is tremolo equiped and built on a shorter scale. The SS6 is more or less geared towards players with heavier tastes in music.
Let me know if tou need more info.
