Key Features & Specs:

Neck-Thru Construction for unbeatable sustain and upper-fret access

Alder body – lightweight, balanced, and resonant

3-piece Maple neck with extra-thin U contour – lightning-fast and super comfortable

Macassar Ebony fingerboard with black binding, 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, and offset mother-of-pearl dot inlays

Compound radius (300-400mm) for effortless speed and precision from low to high positions

Reverse headstock – killer looks and improved string tension (especially when downtuned)

Floyd Rose 1000SE bridge with stainless steel screws – rock-solid tuning stability for dive bombs and aggressive playing

Grover tuners for precise, reliable tuning

Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers (direct-mount): Alnico in neck for smooth, versatile cleans/lead tones + Ceramic in bridge for aggressive high-gain crunch. Push-pull control on the tone knob unlocks a second voicing per pickup for massive tonal range.

Satin finish throughout for a sleek, modern vibe that feels great under your hand.

This guitar is designed to handle grueling shows, fast shredding, heavy riffs, and everything in between. The Fishman Fluence pickups are a standout – incredibly articulate, noise-free, and versatile (from tight modern metal to warmer classic rock tones). The extra-thin neck and compound radius make it one of the most playable guitars in its class.

This thing plays and sounds phenomenal, and looks absolutely killer in that glossy candy apple red satin.

Perfect for metal, hard rock, prog, djent, or any high-gain style.
