A modern design focused on performance
This guitar belongs to the "performance" instrument line: a thin Wizard III type neck, jumbo frets, and straightforward electronics to get straight to the point. The goal is clear: to offer a quick grip and immediate response, ideal for guitarists seeking a smooth playing feel without compromising on sonic impact.
For whom and for which styles
Thanks to its fast neck, humbucker duo, and fixed bridge, this model is well suited for beginner to intermediate guitarists who want an efficient guitar to progress, as well as for more experienced musicians looking for a "plug and play" instrument for rehearsals and stage. The natural playgrounds are rock, hard rock, and metal, with great ease on tight rhythms and articulated solos.
The sound
The combination of a mahogany body and Quantum (H) ceramic pickups emphasizes a tight and precise response. The neck pickup provides a rounder foundation for singing leads and more connected runs, while maintaining definition under gain. The bridge pickup, sharper, favors attack, bite, and chord clarity in saturation. The fixed bridge enhances the sense of hold and stability, with a direct attack and even sustain, particularly appreciated in standard tunings as well as lower tunings.
Recommended compatible accessories
For daily use, you can complement the instrument with universal accessories without compatibility risks: plectrums suited to your attack, a tuner (clip-on or pedal), and a microfiber cloth to preserve the black tweed finish and reduce marks.
