Key Features & Benefits

Neck-Thru Design for Exceptional Sustain
The neck-thru construction provides superior sustain and stability compared to bolt-on guitars, allowing rich harmonic resonance and consistent tone from the lowest notes to the highest frets.

Premium Tonewoods for Balance & Power
The combination of a solid maple top and mahogany body delivers a balanced tonal voice with strong lows, warm mids, and bright highs — perfect for metal, rock, and hard-edged genres, while still sounding clear on cleaner settings.

High-Output Pickups for Modern Sound
The Seymour Duncan Nazgûl bridge pickup brings aggressive, high-gain character and tight low-end response, while the Sentient neck pickup offers clarity for clean tones and fluid lead work. Together, they provide a wide sonic range for rhythm and solo playing alike.

Fast, Comfortable Playability
The ebony fingerboard with a compound radius allows comfortable chording near the nut and effortless bending at higher frets. Combined with the sleek 7-piece neck, this makes the guitar ideal for fast riffs, solos, and technical playing.

Expressive Tremolo Performance
The Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo offers smooth vibrato and dive effects while maintaining tuning stability, even under intense playing — great for aggressive styles or expressive solos.
