Key Features:
Select Alder Body with Sculpted Ultra Contours:
- The alder body offers a balanced tonal foundation, providing a mix of warmth, clarity, and resonance. The sculpted contours ensure the guitar feels comfortable whether you’re standing or seated, making it easier to navigate during long performances.
Quartersawn Maple Neck with Modern “D” Profile:
- The neck is made from quartersawn maple, known for its strength and stability. Its Modern D profile fits comfortably in your hand, offering a slim but substantial feel that caters to both rhythm and lead players. The Ultra Satin finish on the neck enhances playability by making sliding between frets smooth and effortless.
Ebony or Quartersawn Maple Fingerboard with 10”-14” Compound Radius:
- The fingerboard comes in either ebony or quartersawn maple, both premium materials that provide different tonal and aesthetic qualities. The compound radius starts at 10" for comfortable chording near the nut and flattens out to 14" near the higher frets for more precise, effortless bends and solos. Ultra rolled edges further enhance the comfort.
Luminlay® Side Dots and Graph Tech® TUSQ® Nut:
- Luminlay® side dots glow in the dark, making it easier to navigate the fretboard in low-light performance settings. The Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut delivers enhanced sustain and tuning stability by reducing friction at the nut slots.
Haymaker™ Humbuckers and Advanced Electronics:
- The pair of Haymaker™ humbuckers delivers a broad tonal palette, ranging from smooth, articulate cleans to aggressive modern crunch, with the added benefit of noise-free performance. The S-1™ switch offers additional versatility by splitting the humbuckers for single-coil-like tones, allowing you to sculpt a wide variety of sounds on the fly.
Bass Cut Knob:
- In addition to the master tone and volume controls, the bass cut knob allows you to tailor your low-end response, tightening up the sound for more clarity in high-gain situations or for a more vintage-like response.
6-Saddle String-Through-Body Hardtail Bridge with Polished Stainless Steel Block Saddles:
- This bridge design enhances sustain and resonance while maintaining rock-solid tuning stability. The stainless steel saddles are durable and contribute to the guitar’s articulate tone.
Deluxe Locking Tuners:
- Short post locking tuners ensure quick string changes and exceptional tuning stability, even under the demands of intense playing.
Additional Specs:
- 1-Ply Anodized Aluminum Pickguard for a sleek, modern look.
- Knurled Aluminum Knobs for a precise, tactile feel when adjusting controls.
- Sculpted Neck Heel for improved access to higher frets, making it easier to perform lead lines in the upper register.
