Key Features
Rupert Neve Designs Reflectone Pickups
Developed by legendary audio engineer Rupert Neve, these pickups deliver the authentic vintage tones that defined countless classic recordings. The HSS configuration provides sparkling single-coil clarity and rich humbucker warmth with the coil-split function expanding tonal possibilities.
Chambered Alder Body Construction
The lightweight chambered design reduces weight while enhancing resonance and acoustic properties. This innovative construction provides the tonal benefits of a semi-hollow guitar while maintaining the sustain and feedback resistance of solid-body design.
Compound Radius Fingerboard
The 10-14 inch compound radius starts flatter at the nut for comfortable chord work and gradually curves toward the upper frets for effortless string bending and lead playing. This modern feature accommodates all playing styles seamlessly.
Premium Gotoh Hardware
Equipped with Gotoh 510T FE-1 tremolo bridge for smooth operation and excellent tuning stability, paired with Gotoh locking tuners for quick string changes and rock-solid tuning performance under aggressive playing.
