Swamo Ash Body Wing.
Swamp ash is one of the most popular and widely used materials for the manufacture of electric guitar cases. It is light, but has a surprisingly strong, dense and punchy sound with an emphasis on the mid-high frequency range. This feature turns swamp ash into a favorite wood of knowledgeable guitarists who want to get a strong fundamental tone that will be clearly heard in the mix. The natural beauty of swamp ash, with its characteristic grainy texture, makes it ideal for a transparent finish.

EMG pickups 60(N) and 81 (B).
Due to its ceramic magnets, the EMG 60 has a full treble response and loads of output great for distinct single-note solos. The 60 provides clarity and character to your guitar and works very well in the neck position. One of the most popular EMG’s, the 81 is the one that started a revolution. Utilizing powerful ceramic magnets and close aperture coils, the tone was designed with detailed intensity, incredible amounts of high end cut, and fluid sustain. 60/81 combo is recommended for high and powerful tone.

Floyd Rose Special Tremolo.
Nothing provides such stability of tuning as Floyd Rose. Whatever you do, dive bombs, extreme flageolets or subtle chord coloring, Floyd Royce gives you the confidence that you are expressing your musical ideas without any problems with tuning.

1 Volume, 1 Tone, 3-Way Switch.
Sometimes simplicity is exactly what a musician needs. 1 volume control, 1 tone and a 3-position switch allow the guitarist to fully focus on the play.

Neck-Thru Body.
When it comes to sustain and midrange focus, nothing can compare to the design of the neck through the body. Unbreakable stability and incredible smoothness, this neck is designed for speed along its entire length.

Ebony Fingerboard.
There are many types of wood that are used to make fingerboard linings, but none of them can be compared to the coal-black beauty and smoothness of ebony.

5 pcs Maple and Panga Panga.
The 5pcs Maple and Pangapanga neck provides stability and a smooth surface for high-speed riffing and soloing with unfettered access to the highest frets for superb playability.
