Construction and Design

• Construction: Bolt-on neck construction provides a bright tone with a snappy attack, typical of many classic rock guitars. This construction also facilitates easy maintenance and neck adjustments.
• Scale: The 25.5" scale length is standard for electric guitars, providing a balanced feel between tension and playability, suitable for a variety of playing styles.
• Body Material: Alder is chosen for the body, known for its lightweight properties and balanced sound with a slight upper-mid emphasis, which helps it cut through a mix.
• Neck: Maple neck enhances the overall brightness and sustain of the guitar, offering a snappy response which is great for fast playing and lead solos.
• Fingerboard: Macassar ebony for the fingerboard, with a 305mm radius, offers a slightly flatter surface ideal for fast playing and facilitates easier string bending without fretting out.

Playability

• Nut: A locking nut with a width of 43mm at the nut and 45mm at the neck provides excellent string stability, crucial for maintaining tuning integrity, especially when using the Floyd Rose tremolo system for aggressive dive bombs and vibratos.
• Neck Contour: The Thin U-shaped neck profile is designed for comfort and speed, allowing for rapid playing without sacrificing playability.
• Frets: 22 extra jumbo stainless steel frets offer durability and a smooth playing feel, ideal for aggressive playing styles and frequent bending.

• Pickups: An ESP LS-120 in the neck position offers clear, bright tones, while the Seymour Duncan ‘78 in the bridge delivers a classic rock sound with rich harmonics and a sweet sustain. The bridge pickup, known for its iconic tone, is versatile enough to handle everything from blues to hard rock.
• Electronics Layout: The guitar features a simple yet effective electronics layout with a single volume control that also functions as a push/pull for splitting the bridge pickup, adding a significant layer of tonal versatility.
