Crafted from lightweight American basswood, the guitar showcases a stylish double cutaway and deep ergonomic contours, delivering a warm tone suitable for a wide range of musical styles.
Additionally, the guitar features a multi-scale length of 25”-25.5”, an upgrade from the previous model’s 24.75”-25.5”. Its neck is constructed from a five-piece blend of roasted maple and walnut laminate, enhancing resonance and durability compared to the earlier roasted maple/ash combination.
Playability and Comfort
Playability is a key focus, with a 15.75” radius and a roasted maple fingerboard equipped with 24 stainless steel frets and Luminlay side dots for easy visibility.
Completing the design is a Graph Tech Black TUSQ nut and a tilt-back headstock, which not only improves sustain but also adds to the guitar’s sleek, aerodynamic look.
