Sound & Tone
The alder body and 25.5-inch scale give this PT a snappy, well-defined voice with clear note separation, while the Pasadena VT-1 neck and VS-1 middle single-coils cover glassy, bell-like cleans and chimey in-between positions suited to country, blues, pop and funk rhythm work. Switching to the Route '57 bridge humbucker thickens things up for crunchy rhythm and saturated leads, and the pull-to-split volume plus pull-to-expand tone let you thin that bridge back down or widen the overall range without changing guitars. With stainless steel frets, a 12-inch radius and locking tuners, it's set up for players who need one instrument to track a variety of styles reliably.

High-quality alder body paired with a satin-finished roasted maple neck creates a fast, comfortable platform ideal for long studio sessions, while the Graph Tech Black TUSQ nut and Gotoh Vintage Locking tuners ensure stable tuning and precise intonation throughout extended recording work.
Tone & Electronics
The SSH pickup configuration features a Route '57 humbucker at the bridge, Pasadena VS-1 single-coil in the middle, and Pasadena VT-1 single-coil at the neck, offering expansive tonal range from bright, articulate cleans to saturated drive that cuts through dense mixes. Master volume with pull-to-split and master tone with pull-to-expand controls provide extensive shaping capabilities for precise tracking, supported by a 5-way blade switch for quick sonic transitions during layering and experimentation.
