Sound & Tone
The active EMG 81 in the bridge gives a tight, aggressive high-gain attack with focused low-end and cutting upper mids, while the EMG 60 at the neck stays clear and articulate for leads and cleaner passages. Mahogany with a flame maple top and set-neck construction add sustain and note definition, and the 25.5" scale keeps low tunings and fast runs well-defined. With a Floyd Rose Special locking tremolo, ebony fretboard and 24 extra jumbo frets, it's aimed squarely at modern metal, hard rock and progressive playing that leans on dive bombs, wide bends and technical soloing.
