An Arrow Designed for Performance in the 1000 Series
With the Arrow 1000 Violet Andromeda, the goal is clear: to offer an electric guitar focused on performance, tailored for modern playing. Its active EMG configuration, combined with a Floyd Rose 1000 and a thin neck, emphasizes precision, speed, and stability under high gain, while maintaining ergonomics suited for long sessions.
For Which Guitarists and Styles
This guitar is mainly aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a responsive, efficient, and stable instrument, especially for metal, hard rock, modern rock, and styles involving tight riffs, palm-muting, and fast solos. The 24 frets facilitate playing high up the neck, and the Floyd Rose is particularly suited for those who use vibrato expressively.
The Sound
The mahogany body provides density in the low-mids and a sense of sustain, while the maple neck helps retain attack and definition. The ebony fingerboard enhances precision and clarity, appreciated on saturated chords as well as fast runs. On the amplification side, the EMG 81 (bridge) and EMG 85 (neck) duo offers a powerful and very clear range: the EMG 81 is ideal for sharp rhythms and harmonics, and the EMG 85 delivers a rounder, singing low end for leads. With active electronics and a Volume control, the guitar goes straight to the point: a crisp response, low noise, and excellent coherence at high gain.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay as close as possible to the original feel, choose electric strings gauged .009-.042 (such as the D'Addario XL120 factory-installed). A standard strap is also suitable to secure standing play.
