A modern "superstrat" designed for versatility
With its HSH pickup trio, 24 frets, and vibrato, this type of guitar follows the line of models oriented towards modern playing: fast, versatile, and comfortable both in rhythm and lead. The mahogany and maple choice balances warmth and definition, for an instrument aiming at a wide palette without sacrificing saturation efficiency.
For whom and for which styles?
This electric guitar is particularly aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists who want an evolving instrument, capable of supporting learning (playing comfort, 24 frets) as well as first concerts or rehearsals. It suits very well rock, hard rock, metal, and fusion styles, while remaining relevant for clearer sounds thanks to the single coil middle pickup (depending on settings and wiring).
The sound
The mahogany body provides a round and dense character, with rich mids that give presence to power chords and thickness to leads. The maple neck contributes to attack precision and clarity, particularly useful when increasing gain. The rosewood fingerboard slightly softens the high end and promotes a comfortable playing feel, while the 24 jumbo frets facilitate clean attacks and bends. Regarding pickups, the PSND1 (neck) and PSND2 (bridge) humbuckers are designed for more powerful and quiet saturated sounds, with solid lows and generous harmonics. The PSNDS single coil (middle) adds more clarity and definition for airier rhythms and more percussive sounds.
