ZR-2 Tremolo: The ZR-2 is a revolutionary tremolo system. It plays incredibly smooth through the use of its ball bearing mechanism. This also keeps the string action constant, even during the most rigorous tremolo use. The top side features a smooth finish for total hand comfort, and the tremolo arm snaps in for quick setup.

ZPS3 Zero Point System: The ZPS3 is the next stage of zero point systems. Made of lightweight Duralumin, the addition of two outer springs makes the guitar easier to tune and provides much greater tuning stability. In fact, the other strings will stay in tune even if you break a string. If you prefer a full floating tremolo setup, simply remove the stop bar.

Sleek Body: The smooth, contoured Mahogany body of the S has long been a favorite for the extreme thrash of heavy metal players to the soft grace of fusion virtuosos.

Barless Top-Lok: The Barless Top-Lok eliminates the need for a retainer bar to maintain string tension. Through its simple design, it holds the correct angle for the strings without one. The metal-injection molding process means that all the edges remain smooth, so you won't hurt your hands.

HGD & ST Pickups: The Hot Grinder pickups are specially designed for the S Prestige to output extra volume, yet sharpness is not sacrificed. The new Short Tracer pickup matches perfectly with the hot humbuckers to give versatility on the S guitars and to produce even the most delicate tones.
