Description

Roasted Maple neck

The neck is heat treated for improved stability, durability and resistance to changes in temperature and humidity. That means you won’t have to tinker with the setup of this guitar much at all, letting you play with a consistent feel. The neck’s slim carve and non-sticky satin polyurethane finish feel fast and smooth under the hand too, making long practice sessions and demanding gigs more comfortable.

Okoume body, stunning top!

The Flamed Maple Art Grain (basswood) top gives the GRGR221FA-TDK a premium, stage-ready appearance — especially under lights. While the Okoume body delivers a bright, solid sound with plenty of attack. This combination helps riffs stay tight and defined, so your playing cuts through dense band mixes.

IBZ-6 pickups & F106 fixed bridge

A pair of passive IBZ-6 humbuckers provide punchy rhythm sounds to singing lead tones. Combined with the F106 fixed bridge, which enriches sustain and allows for precise individual string height adjustment, you get a reliable, tuning stable platform that’s ideal for heavy styles and alternate tunings.

Key Features

Okoume body: Brings a bright, solid sound with plenty of presence, making your riffs and solos cut through the mix.
Roasted Maple GRG neck: Offers enhanced stability and resistance to environmental changes, while the slim GRG profile and satin finish provide a fast, comfortable feel that encourages quick lead runs!
Bound Purpleheart fingerboard with 24 medium frets: Delivers smooth playability and accurate intonation across the entire neck, making bends, chords and solos feel controlled and precise.
IBZ-6 pickups with 5-way switching: Dual IBZ-6 humbuckers deliver clear, powerful tones. And the 5-way lever switch offers multiple voicings for rhythm and lead work.
F106 bridge: Boosts sustain while letting you tweak string height quickly and independently — perfect for dialling in your ideal setup without any fuss.

Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain.
