Alongside its addictive playability, this model features a 24-fret, 25.5" scale length Wide Thin maple neck, topped with a 20” radius ebony fretboard, ensuring smooth transitions and effortless maneuverability.

This guitar doesn't just sound fantastic, it looks the part too. Adorned with a quilted maple veneer and sleek black chrome hardware, it's as much a visual treat as it is an auditory one.
