Designed for excellence
Crafted from lightweight alder, the 434's body produces a smooth and deep bass resonance, packed with a beefy midrange and sizzling highs. The strong and full-bodied tone produced perfectly complements the brightness of the maple, resulting in an incredible balance across the range. The combination of the neck materials offers incredible stability, providing the best of both tonewoods for a bright and mellow sound.
Not only do these materials deliver incredible overtones, but they have also been sculpted to ensure the playability feels luxurious. The neck has been sculpted with a thin profile, making it comfortable for all performers, and reaching across the fingerboard effortless and cramp-free. Thanks to the silky-smooth finish that coats each of these materials, gliding from fret to fret is truly graceful. Fret flawlessly.
