A Contemporary Super-Strat Designed for Performance
Rooted in the great tradition of modern Super-Strats, this 6-string electric guitar features simple and effective active electronics and woods selected for responsiveness. Flamed maple top, glossy "Blood Orange Burst" finish, and black hardware showcase a bold stage aesthetic without sacrificing ergonomics.
Who Is It For, and What For?
Designed for intermediate to advanced guitarists, it excels in modern rock, hard rock, melodic and progressive metal. The 3-position selector also covers clear, precise tones suitable for pop or fusion. Ambitious beginners will appreciate its comfort and intonation, provided they are comfortable with a floating tremolo.
The Sound
The DiMarzio Crunch Lab/LiquiFire pair delivers a tight low end, present mids, and singing highs. The volume push/push activates a boost ideal for cutting through the mix in solos or thickening rhythms. The nyatoh/flamed maple combination brings warmth and projection, while the ebony fingerboard enhances attack and precision. The flat 400 mm radius and 24 frets facilitate stable bending and expressive vibrato, with controlled sustain.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Ernie Ball 2221 Regular Slinky 10-46 string set (original setup) to maintain the tension, intonation, and tonal balance intended by the luthiery and tremolo.
