Construction and materials

This model features a neck-thru-body design with Ultra Access heel for effortless reach across all 24 frets. The flamed maple top adds visual depth while enhancing clarity and definition. The ebony fingerboard with reverse Roman numeral inlays and Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dots ensures visibility on dark stages and adds a touch of elegance.

Electronics and hardware

The Swedish-made Lundgren M7 pickup delivers tight, articulate tone with exceptional definition, while the Sustainiac® neck pickup offers three selectable sustain modes: Fundamental, Mix, and Harmonic. Controls include volume, tone, 3-way selector, On/Off Sustainiac switch, and mode selector. The Floyd Rose 1500 Series tremolo provides rock-solid tuning stability even during extreme use, and Grover Rotomatic 18:1 tuners ensure precise adjustment.
