Sound & Tone
Dual EMG TBHZ pickups push an aggressive, articulate voice with plenty of clarity and output, while the mahogany body and neck-thru construction lend warmth and long sustain, further reinforced by the string-thru bridge. The ebony fretboard and Graph Tech nut tighten up the attack and note definition, so fingerstyle lines stay tight and pick or slap work cuts through a dense mix. With a 34" scale, thin 'C' neck and x-jumbo frets on a 16" radius, it suits modern rock and metal players as well as anyone needing fast, defined lines across the whole neck.

A prototype instrument of this caliber offers players the opportunity to own a piece of the design evolution process with no visible finish imperfections.

Electronics & Hardware
