Innovative Appointments for Demanding Musicians

What stands out in this model are the custom Steelhead humbuckers, which employ oversized steel poles and a dual-magnet (Alnico V and ceramic) design. These pickups strike a balance between classic warmth and modern precision. Bass Contour control enables smooth morphing from humbucker fullness to single-coil snap, while the roasted maple neck gives confident feel and resilience in fluctuating environments.

Resonance and Playability—Korina and Roasted Maple

At the core is a carefully selected korina solid body, valued for harmonic richness and tonal balance. The roasted maple neck’s visual appeal is matched by its resistance to warping and seasonal changes. In tandem, these woods create a lively response that rewards expressive technique.

• Body:Korina solidbody — lightweight with rich resonance for full-range tone
• Neck:Roasted maple, medium oval profile — smooth feel and tuning stability across climates
• The 305 mm fingerboard radius promotes natural bends and precise fretting, whether on stage or in the studio.

Advanced Electronics—Shape Your Sound

Users can access a broad sonic spectrum thanks to exclusive electronics. Alnico V and ceramic magnets in the Steelhead humbuckers yield versatility, while Bass Contour and treble bleed controls allow rapid transitions from thick rock punch to sparkling single-coil clarity.

• Pickups:Steelhead humbuckers — dual-magnet, oversized pole pieces for clarity and output
• Controls include volume, tone, Bass Contour, and a 3-way switch for detailed tone-shaping without added noise.
• Treble Bleed Circuit:Yes — preserves high-end at lower volumes

Hardware and Playability—Built for Expression

Reliable performance is assured by features like the Wilkinson WVS50 IIK tremolo system and pin-lock tuners, which make string changes swift and help maintain tuning stability.

• Bridge:Wilkinson WVS50 IIK tremolo — locks saddles for stability and smooth vibrato
• Tuners:Pin-lock — quick string swaps and improved tuning
• Nut:43 mm Boneite — low friction ensures tuning consistency
