A Signature Calibrated for DJ Ashba's Universe
Associated with the guitarist of Sixx:A.M., this signature guitar clearly targets powerful "Hard FM" tones and stage performances. Between its exclusive finish, high-end components, and electronics focused on sustain and precision, it positions itself as an instrument designed for big amps, heavy distortion, and expressive solo parts.
For Whom and Which Styles?
The DJ Ashba Signature Carbon Grey is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a stable tuning guitar with a Floyd Rose, and active electronics ready for stage and studio. It excels in hard rock, metal, alternative rock, and all contexts where tight rhythm playing, precise palm-muting, and spectacular leads with controlled sustain are sought.
The Sound
The alder (body) and maple (neck) duo provides an effective balance: firm lows, present mids, and a sharp attack, perfect for cutting through a dense mix. The ebony fingerboard enhances definition and clarity, particularly appreciated with high gain levels.
Regarding pickups, the EMG 81 is renowned for its tight response, precise highs, and ultra-clear rhythms. The Sustainiac opens another playground: extended sustain and dedicated modes (fundamental, mix, harmonic) for leads that "hold" and more creative effects. The various switches allow quick transitions from an aggressive and direct register to more singing textures, without losing stability or output level.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay as close as possible to the original setup, a set of Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 2221 strings in gauge .010-.046 is perfectly suitable. Also plan for 2 x 9V batteries (the electronics are active). Finally, the guitar is announced compatible with an SGR-1C case (sold separately), practical for transport and protection.
