Key features
Body and finish: The guitar features a lightweight, contoured alder body with a sleek, satin matte finish in Silk Blue. A gloss finish is used on models with a flamed maple top, such as the Fired Red color option, but the Matte Silk Blue variant has a solid alder body.
Pickups: The electronics are powered by Seymour Duncan pickups in an HSS (humbucker/single-coil/single-coil) configuration.
Bridge: A powerful Seymour Duncan Custom 5 TB-14 humbucker is used in the bridge position, suitable for rock and soloing.
Middle and neck: The middle and neck positions use Seymour Duncan SSL-1 single-coil pickups, which provide crisp, classic single-coil tones.
Controls: The control layout includes a master volume and a master tone knob. The tone knob has a push-pull function to split the bridge humbucker, offering additional tonal options.
Neck and fretboard: The guitar features a “C”-shaped maple neck with a smooth, responsive rosewood fingerboard, 22 medium frets, and dot inlays.
Hardware: The guitar is equipped with high-quality components for enhanced performance and tuning stability.
