Description

Step into the future of rock with the Purple Tiger, a groundbreaking electric guitar that fuses classic design with unparalleled modern playability. At the heart of this instrument, the synergy of an Explorer's iconic silhouette and a Futura's enhanced fret access delivers a look that commands attention and a feel that inspires creativity. Its solid mahogany body is crowned with a AAA flame maple veneer, adding both visual allure and a rich, resonant sound.

What truly sets the Purple Tiger apart is its pair of Fishman Fluence humbucking pickups, offering a triad of tonal possibilities right at your fingertips. Seamlessly switch between a searing modern active tone, a warm PAF-style humbucker sound, or a punchy single-coil tone—all with zero hum. This versatility makes it a perfect ally for studio sessions or live performances.

The ergonomic mahogany neck with an asymmetrical SlimTaper profile and 24 jumbo frets is crafted for speed and comfort. With a 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboard, every note slides effortlessly under your fingers, making it ideal for shredders and melody-makers alike.

Finishing off this powerhouse is rock-solid hardware, including a Tune-O-Matic bridge and Grover-locking Rotomatic tuners, ensuring stable tuning and optimal sustain. The Graph Tech NuBone nut further enhances clarity and resonance, while the sleek aged gloss finish and single-ply binding add a touch of elegance to this modern classic.
