Key Features:
Select Alder Body with Sculpted Ultra Contours:
- The body of the Meteora is crafted from select alder, providing a balanced tonal foundation with resonant midrange and punchy lows. The sculpted contours and ergonomic design make the guitar exceptionally comfortable to play, even during extended performances.
Quartersawn Maple Neck with Modern “D” Profile:
- The quartersawn maple neck ensures stability and durability while offering a smooth playing experience. The Modern D profile strikes the perfect balance between comfort and speed, ideal for all playing styles. The Ultra Satin finish enhances playability, allowing for effortless movement up and down the neck.
10”-14” Compound Radius Fingerboard:
- The ebony or quartersawn maple fingerboard has a compound radius that starts at 10" near the nut, making chord work comfortable, and gradually flattens to 14" near the higher frets for easier soloing and string bending. The Ultra rolled edges ensure a smooth and seamless feel, while Luminlay® side dots help you navigate the fretboard in low-light settings.
Haymaker™ Humbuckers with S-1™ Switching:
- The Haymaker™ humbuckers are designed to deliver a broad tonal range, from crystal-clear cleans to modern high-gain crunch. The S-1™ switching system allows the pickups to be split, unlocking additional single-coil tones for even more versatility, making it suitable for various musical styles.
Bass Cut Knob and Advanced Electronics:
- The bass cut knob provides further tonal sculpting by allowing you to roll off the low frequencies, perfect for achieving tighter, more focused tones when needed. Paired with a traditional master tone control, this gives you full control over your sound.
6-Saddle String-Through-Body Hardtail Bridge with Polished Stainless Steel Block Saddles:
- This bridge setup ensures precise intonation, enhances sustain, and offers superior resonance. The stainless steel block saddles contribute to the guitar’s bright and articulate tone, while the string-through-body design maximizes sustain.
Short Post Locking Tuners:
- Deluxe locking tuners make string changes fast and keep the guitar in tune through aggressive playing. Their short posts contribute to the guitar’s tuning stability, while ensuring the string tension is consistent across all six strings.
