Key Features & Player Benefits
-
High-Gain Tonal Power (HH Configuration): Dual Sound-SPC3 humbuckers deliver thick, punchy tones with maximum output and minimal noise, making it ideal for rock, modern metal, and high-energy lead playing.
-
Enhanced Stability & Sustain (Roasted Maple Neck & Hardtail Bridge): The thermal-treated maple neck resists seasonal climate shifts, while the fixed hardtail bridge optimizes string-to-body vibration transfer for superior sustain and bulletproof tuning stability.
-
Extended Sonic Range (24 Frets): Two full octaves per string expand your register for high-register solos, modern shredding, and extended playability.
-
Rich Resonance & Lightweight Comfort (Okoume Body): Mahogany-like tonal warmth paired with a lightweight, comfortable body shape ensures full, rich tone without heavy shoulder fatigue.
-
Fast, Smooth Playability (300mm Radius & Rosewood Fretboard): A flatter fretboard radius allows exceptionally low string action and choke-free bends, complemented by the warm, tactile feel of a rosewood fingerboard.
