Custom Shop Upgrades: Lindy Fralin Pickups & Heavy Aged Finish

• Charcoal Frost Metallic w/ Matching Headstock: A refined custom color paired with a matching headstock, giving the instrument an understated yet powerful visual presence.
• Heavy Aged Finish: Expertly aged nitrocellulose finish featuring extensive lacquer checking, wear marks, and authentic vintage patina.
• Rosewood Pickup Covers: Features custom wooden pickup covers that seamlessly blend with the rosewood fingerboard.

Tonewoods & Playability

• Alder Body & Rosewood Fingerboard: The classic tonewood pairing delivering warm mids, organic punch, and smooth overall balance.
• Jescar FW47104 Frets: High-grade fretwork ensuring effortless playability and precise intonation across 22 frets.
• Luminova Side Position Markers: Glow-in-the-dark side dots for maximum readability on dark stages.
• Hipshot Ultra Light Tuners & Xotic Type-A Bridge: Superior hardware delivering tuning precision and efficient vibration transfer.

High-Versatility Active/Passive Circuit
