Offering comfort and smoothness, it will free up your hand to move along the fretboard with ease. The Indian laurel fretboard itself is also a finely crafted tool, helping your riffs to flow into each other. Maple wood also creates a bright tone when it vibrates, which helps to give your notes more punch when you play. And it offers a good level of sustain to help your notes ring out. Combined, the quality fretboard and neck help to open up your playing.

And there's a classy gold anodised aluminum pickguard to protect the luscious finish from scratches. Add in the classic headstock and you've got one stunning guitar which sounds as good as it looks.
