Product Ref: 77570
With a lightweight swamp ash body, the Hellhound produces a twangy, airy tone with a sweet feel. The resonant ash wood provides an excellent sustain that makes the overall sound big, creating firm lows, pleasant highs, and a slightly scooped midrange. The guitar is designed with a classic shape and given a trans baby blue finish to create a classic look that’s both stylish and eye catching.
With a neck and fingerboard both constructed from Maple, the guitar’s tone becomes tight and cut, providing an edge of sizzle to the highs and firmness to the lows. The Maple wood provides bright characteristics to the overall tone, whilst offering a snappy attack in the midrange. When the strings are played hard, the wood produces more punch to the tone, and when played with light or medium picking, then tone has excellent clarity.
The GJ2 Hellhound features a set of Habanero pickups to deliver a range of tonal possibilities, perfect for playing a variety of musical styles. In the bridge position is a low heat, single coil pickup which provides powerfully harsh tones. The single coil pickup can scream as much as you want, whilst also offering a clean smooth sound, perfect for country, blues, and rock. In the neck position is the T.D 91 which is built with a soapbar design and provides a layer of power to the guitars sound. The versatile T.D 91 offers lots of body and plenty of character, creating a warm bite that adds a layer of depth to your sound.
