At the bridge and neck lie Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers, the showstoppers of this guitar. The ceramic pickup at the bridge position brings all that fearless attack that any rock and metal enthusiast beg for. Soar from crunchy lows to crisp highs that cut through the mix, your sizzling tone will be unforgettable. It is the ultimate pickup for absolutely decimating distortion. The alnico at the neck then provides heavenly full-bodied sonic characteristics with unparalleled articulation. The easy-to-use mini toggle voicing switch gives your tonal palette even more scope by allowing you to access wondrous single-coil sounds. You can rely on the power of these humbuckers to give your sound fire and incredible oomph.
A magnificent mahogany build
A guitar body that can take any ferocious performance... Mahogany is wonderfully sturdy, giving you the freedom to play as aggressively as you like, for as long as you like. It won't tire, in fact, it will only get tighter and more tonally exquisite with age. So, you have years of exhilarating gigs to look forward to. Its warm and resonant tone is produced by an emphasis on midrange frequencies, offering a gloriously balanced sound. But it still has sublime, punchy tonal qualities that are perfect for rock and metal players. The way the body has been crafted offers immense playability thanks to the striking cutaway which provides easy access to the higher frets, and it looks simply stunning too. Such a spectacular finish begs to be matched with your crazy, skilful playing. And thanks to the iconic Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo bridge, you can divebomb with vigour or add gentle shimmering pitch bends to your sound whilst always retaining excellent tuning stability.
Effortless playing
A maple neck with magical wonders. Its incredible stability is provided by carbon fibre reinforcement rods, allowing you to play as ferociously as you like. Whether you're strumming chunky, aggressive chords or fretting in skilful, fearless fashion, you can do so without anything slowing you down. The ultra-thin 'C' profile then grants you sumptuously playability, it is superbly comfortable to hold and will sit effortlessly in your hand. Prepare for a dreamy playing experience. Its maple construction then offers crisp attack and glistening articulation, so you won’t be hindered by any muddy sound.
Mounted onto the robust neck is an exquisite ebony fretboard that brings a whole host of practical and sonic qualities. Slide across the frets with ease, ebony's naturally high oil content gives it a beautiful, smooth finish and its durability means it won't wear away from excessive riffing. Underneath your fingertips you will have a tonewood that is highly responsive, giving you a bright and crisp attack, perfect for glorious articulation.
