A Guitar Designed for Modern Performance
The Red Dawn embodies the spirit of "high performance" guitars: aggressive aesthetics, optimized access to the upper frets, and a configuration focused on precision. Its concept is clear: to offer a fast feel under the fingers, impeccable tuning stability, and electronics tailored for contemporary sounds, from modern metal to technical rock.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This 6-string electric guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a reliable instrument for fast playing, percussive palm-mutes, and very tight rhythms. It excels in metal, djent, hardcore, modern rock, and precise lead playing, while remaining comfortable for more nuanced tones thanks to the multiple pickup positions and voicing option via the push-pull.
The Sound
The basswood body provides a balanced response, with present mids and clean lows, perfect for clear distortion. The 3-piece maple neck enhances stability and definition, while the ebony fingerboard adds attack and a very direct feel, ideal for fast runs and precise bends.
On the electronics side, the pair of Fishman Fluence Modern pickups (Ceramic at the bridge position and Alnico at the neck position) delivers a sharp and dynamic sound with excellent note separation. The 5-position selector multiplies combinations, and the Master Volume push-pull allows access to an additional voicing option to switch from an aggressive register to more open textures without changing amps.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original feel and tension, choose a set of Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 2221 strings in .010-.046. A selection of picks (0.88 mm to 1.14 mm) is also recommended to best exploit attack and precision in rhythm playing.

What is the neck profile and scale length?
The 3-piece maple neck has an ultra-thin C profile measuring 19 mm at the nut and 20 mm at the 12th fret. The 648 mm (25.5 inches) scale length, ebony fingerboard with a 406 mm radius, and 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets promote a direct playing approach.
