Designed for modern guitarists exploring heavy riffs, technical solos and low tunings, it delivers a refined blend of power, precision and playability.
Premium Woods and Exceptional Craftsmanship
The S-457 combines a roasted poplar body with a stunning spalted poplar top, creating a resonant, lightweight instrument with distinctive visual appeal. Its Canadian roasted maple neck and roasted maple fretboard provide:

Multiscale Design for Superior Tone and Feel
This model features a multiscale (fanned fret) construction, where each string has its own optimised scale length. This advanced design offers several key advantages:

- More balanced string tension across the neck
- Enhanced intonation and clarity, especially in lower tunings
The multiscale layout makes the S-457 exceptionally comfortable to play while improving accuracy and tonal balance across all strings.
