Benefits of a Gibson Scale Neck
A Gibson scale neck, typically 24.75 inches, offers a few key benefits: easier bending and fretting due to lower string tension, and a slightly different tonal quality compared to longer scale guitars like Fenders. The shorter scale also makes it easier for players with smaller hands to navigate the fretboard, especially in the lower positions. The nut is 1.70" or 43.2mm. Here's a more detailed look:
- Easier Bending and Fretting: The shorter scale length results in lower string tension for a given tuning and string gauge. This makes bending notes and fretting chords easier, as less force is required.
- Different Feel and Sound: The shorter scale length contributes to a slightly different feel and tonal character. Some players find the shorter scale to be more comfortable and responsive, while others may prefer the feel of a longer scale.
- Smaller Hands: The shorter distance between frets can be beneficial for players with smaller hands, allowing for easier chord stretches and overall fretboard navigation.
- Potential for Tighter String Spacing: Depending on the specific neck profile, the shorter scale can lead to closer fret spacing, which some players find advantageous for certain playing styles.
Gold foil humbucker pickups are modern variations of vintage 1950s and '60s.
A neck Humbucker "gold foil" design, reimagined in a humbucking format. They are favored by players seeking a "boutique" aesthetic combined with a tone that is typically clearer and more "airy" than a standard PAF-style humbucker.
This guitar features a dual-coil design housed in a "split range" humbucker enclosure. It captures the unique sparkle and touch sensitivity of the original single-coil foils but provides a fuller low-end and higher output without the hum.

Roasted Maple Neck Advantages
- Increased Stability: The roasting process involves heating the maple at high temperatures, which removes moisture and sugars, altering the wood's cellular structure. This makes the neck more resistant to changes in temperature and humidity, leading to fewer tuning adjustments and less susceptibility to warping or bending. This can be particularly beneficial for musicians who travel frequently or live in areas with fluctuating climate conditions.
- Enhanced Resonance and Tone: Some luthiers and players claim that the roasting process improves the resonance and tone of the wood, potentially offering a more "vintage" sound. This is attributed to the removal of moisture and oils, which can make the wood more resonant.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Roasting gives the maple a beautiful caramel or golden-brown hue, enhancing the natural beauty of the wood grain.

Excellent Condition!
If you want to play great, you need to start with the right equipment. This guitar was designed for the bigger guys, who have bigger fingers. The wide nut installed is lots wider and meets the needs of larger players and finger pickers, who appreciate “extra room” between the strings.
When the Treble Bleed Circuit is included:
Turning the volume control applies varying amounts of a specially tuned high frequency filter to the selected pickups. Now each pickup has the ability to produce a stronger, fuller tone and 50% less noise. This mod keeps the tone you have on "10" throughout the entire range of the volume control.
We add it to keep the highs from leaving your tone as the volume is decreased.
By adding this circuit we can help you avoid the "muddy-tone" syndrome.
Now your tone is much more controllable and articulate, clean and clear! This variable treble bleed circuit is pre-installed. This variable treble bleed/bypass circuit corrects the problem of high frequency losses, provides auto-adjustment of tone at reduced volumes and improves audio taper between 3 and 10 Also: 3 Way Switching with 3 Saddle Bridge with String-through body Haywire SRV Bridge and Neck pickups: for a fat, rich bottom, with strong, solid mid-range tone and clear highs.

It allows you allows you to roll off your volume without losing the highs. Would you like being able to use the volume control... without sacrificing tone? Now You Can... with a Treble Bleed Circuit Mod added on this guitar!
As you turn your guitar's volume down, the pot allows some of the current to go to ground as opposed to the output.
The frequencies that leave first are the highs, which leave the tone muddy and obscured without an "edge" on it to a discerning ear. Avoid this with the treble bleed included:
Haywire Treble Bleed Circuit already added for you-
It prevents the treble frequencies from bleeding off. It allows the treble frequencies to be re-introduced into the output for clarity and improved timbre.
In the Haywire Custom Shop, we simply install a TB Circuit capacitor. We build them in our custom guitars for a better Low and High sound spectrum:
1-error-correction of signals with enhanced clarity
2- preserve high end frequencies
3-improved taper when rolling back your volume control
Hand-soldered here in our shop: between the input and output lugs of your guitar volume control pot, to smooth out treble bleed.
Get more uniform tone from 1 to 10, and a more rounded sound at low volume.
