Boasting a single cutaway LP-style shape, the guitar features a mahogany body with a flame maple veneer, a mahogany neck with a 24-fret ebony fingerboard – with a set-thru neck/body joint design – and a six-in-line pointy headstock with Solar 18:1 locking tuners.
Electronics come by way of a pair of “powerful and defined” high-output Seymour Duncan SH6 Distortion humbuckers, controlled via two volume pots, a coil-splittable tone knob and a three-way selector switch.
Other features include a TonePros locking TOM bridge, stainless steel frets, Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dot fret markers, a graphite nut, 24.75” scale length and Tobacco Burst Gloss finish.
