To get this bluesy singing sound of heavy wood with a guitar that doesn't
break your neck was just one of the goals in designing this model.
The asymmetrical outline and the “double-wedge" shaping leave
enough wood where it is needed for a blossoming sustain and yet
reduce the weight by 25% compared to traditional forms.
The “Rhythmclean” control gently fades the neck-pickup
from a warm, fat sound to a crisp and open twang.
The rear-pickup is just that tiny bit further
away from the bridge, to give you more
dynamics and expression.

Our own designed stainless
steel 3-piece-bridge tops it all with a fast
responding, yet almost never-ending “ring”!
