This guitar is suitable for a wide range of playing styles, particularly for musicians in rock and metal genres who need a versatile, reliable guitar with rich tonal capabilities. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its features and specifications:

Construction and Design

  • Construction: Set-neck construction enhances sustain and resonance, providing a smooth transition between the neck and body for comfortable access to higher frets.
  • Scale: The 24.75" scale length is slightly shorter than standard, offering easier playability with less tension on the strings, which facilitates easier bending and vibrato.
  • Body Material: Made from mahogany, the body of the guitar delivers a warm, resonant tone that's rich in sustain, making it a favorite for thick, creamy sounds.
  • Neck: A 3-piece mahogany neck adds to the guitar's sustain and tonal richness, enhancing the overall warmth of its sound.
  • Fingerboard: Roasted Jatoba for the fingerboard with a 350mm radius provides a robust feel and smooth playability, ideal for both rhythm and lead playing.

Playability

  • Nut: A molded nut with a width of 43mm provides ample string spacing without feeling too wide, suitable for complex chord shapes and fast lead playing.
  • Neck Contour: The Thin U-shaped neck profile is designed for comfort and speed, making it easier for guitarists to navigate the fretboard during extended playing sessions.
  • Frets: 22 extra jumbo frets allow for easy access and smooth transitions across the fretboard, ideal for fast playing styles and frequent bending.

Hardware and Electronics

  • Tuners: LTD tuners ensure reliable tuning stability, keeping the guitar in tune even during aggressive playing and long performances.
  • Bridge: A TOM bridge with string-thru-body design enhances sustain and stability, allowing for better resonance and tone consistency.
  • Pickup: Equipped with an ESP LH-150B bridge pickup, this guitar offers high output suitable for driving amps hard. The pull volume for coil split adds significant versatility, allowing for single-coil tones in addition to the full humbucker output.
  • Electronics Layout: The control layout is streamlined with a master volume knob that features a push/pull mechanism, enabling easy tonal adjustments and the ability to switch between humbucking and single-coil sounds.

Aesthetic and Extras

  • Finish: The See Thru Black Cherry finish provides a stunning look that showcases the wood grain, enhanced by the black hardware for a sleek, attractive appearance.
  • Strings: Comes strung with D'Addario XL110 strings, known for their excellent tonal balance and durability, suitable for a variety of playing styles.
