Key Features
- Mahogany Body — Provides a rich and deep sonic foundation for the pickups.
- 3-Piece Mahogany Neck — Layered neck design improves strength for exceptional tuning stability.
- Set-Through Construction — Yields massive sustain and enables smooth, unhindered access to the higher frets; especially with the contoured heel.
- Thin "U" Neck Profile — Lean shape is suited for performance-minded players who prioritise both comfort and speed.
- X-Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets — Resistant to corrosion for life-long performance. Wide and tall fret-wire provides a quick response and effortless articulation when playing chords or single notes.
- Fishman Fluence Open Core Humbuckers — Each pickup offers three voicings, selectable with push-pull controls. On the neck pickup, Voice 1 offers the coveted vintage PAF tone, Voice 2 is an airy chime, and Voice 3 is a vintage single-coil. For the bridge pickup, Voice 1 emulates a PAF, Voice 2 is the classic hot-rodded humbucker, and Voice 3 is like an overwound single-coil.
- TonePros Bridge & Tailpiece — Locking design prevents these parts from falling off of the instrument when removing the strings, and guarantees better contact with the body for increased sustain and resonance.
- LTD Locking Tuners — Ergonomic machine heads cut down string-changing time and improve tuning stability, as less string winds are required around their tuning posts.
