Body & Neck

Basswood offers a lightweight feel, meaning that you won't feel any strain or discomfort when playing long sets onstage. With plenty of rich mid-range emphasis, notes will have some serious pop and sizzle, piercing through even the busiest of mixes. 

The neck is made from roasted maple; the mark of a premium-made, high-end instrument. Adding a vibrant and snappy quality to your tone, you'll achieve a fast attack and sharp picking reponse. With 24 stainless steel jumbo frets, you've got the full double-octave range to explore effortlessly! 

Electronics & Hardware

The top-class Gotoh machine heads and tremolo bridge ensure excellent tuning stability and consistent intonation.

It's also dual-loaded with Seymour Duncan Hyperion humbuckers, ensuring versatile, full-bodied tones that perfectly compliment the resonant Basswood body. The unique Dyna-MIX9 switching system provides you with a vast tonal palette, so this guitar really can do it all!
