Since the specs are basically non-existent on the face of the internet. Made at Sugi (2003-04)

Electronics Air Norton Blue Velvet (NOT True Velvet) Tone Zone generic 500k pot

Hardware Edge Pro Gotoh SG381 Gotoh VK1-19 Ibanez Top-Lok III, Gotoh GHL-2 fit Silver/Nickel frets (some type of a different alloy than generic ones. It's smoother than stainless frets and you can really dig in with your bends. Definitely my favourite feature, I prefer this over stainless AZ frets.)

Woods Mohagony Body Maple-Bubinga-M-B-M J Custom Neck (cool note, the bubinga stripe is colourmatched to the body, looks like red is flowing.) Flame maple cap & Unpainted binding (matching stock) Ebony board (not macassar), MOP + Abalone tree of life inlay with wooden stick unlike Fujigen ones that uses pearl.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

4th for clean, chunky 5th for chunky shred, tone zone is a bit too thick as always. Good with Marshalls, Vox, & Boutique amp, not so much fenders.
