Crafted for Comfort and Playability

The slim and inviting “C”-shaped neck profile ensures a comfortable playing experience that guitarists of all skill levels can appreciate, while the maple neck with satin urethane back finish offers a smooth, played-in feel. The satin finish ensures your fretting hand doesn’t stick to the neck during intense playing sessions.
Stunning Versatility

The HSS configuration offers the best of both worlds, providing the warmth and depth of humbuckers while retaining the brightness and precision of single coils, making it an excellent choice for guitarists seeking versatility in their instrument.
Expressive Tremolo Bridge
