The roasted maple neck’s satin finish eliminates the sticky feel typical of gloss necks, offering a “played-in” sensation from the very first chord. Lightweight paulownia body, coated in nitrocellulose lacquer, resonates freely and will naturally develop unique wear patterns over time. Stainless steel jumbo frets provide exceptional durability and smooth playability, while locking tuners keep your guitar perfectly in tune even during the most vigorous playing styles.
Custom Alnico V pickups paired with Alpha pots deliver approximately 7k output, balancing clarity with punch. Luminous side dots on the rosewood fretboard ensure effortless visibility in dim conditions.
Experience a guitar that delivers everything you need and nothing you don’t—a timeless instrument with modern reliability and impeccable tone.
