Product Highlights

• Resonant Poplar Body: Built with a solid, ergonomically contoured poplar body. This choice tonewood maximizes comfort during long playing sessions while providing a well-balanced acoustic foundation with excellent structural stability.

• High-Gloss Fiesta Red Finish: Covered in a radiant, premium High-Gloss Red (HRE) finish. The flawless mirror polish gives it an undeniable stage presence that stands out under any spotlight.

• Versatile HSS Pickup Configuration: Outfitted with a high-performance HSS layout featuring ceramic magnets. This offers a powerful humbucker at the bridge for aggressive rock crunch alongside two single-coils for glassy, pristine cleans.

• Frictionless Satin Maple Neck: Features a bolt-on solid maple neck carved into an incredibly comfortable profile. The back is coated in a smooth satin finish that eliminates hand stickiness for effortless movement across the fretboard.

• Matching Maple Fingerboard & Round-End Frets: Equipped with a bright, snappy maple fingerboard featuring round-end frets. This premium fret treatment ensures a remarkably smooth feel, eliminating sharp fret edges for safe and comfortable soloing.

• High-Precision Tuners & Brass Gears: Outfitted with premium chrome-plated sealed die-cast tuning machines integrated with brass internal gears. This structural choice offers heavy-duty durability and hyper-accurate tuning stability.

• Dual String Trees & 6-Point Tremolo: Upgraded with dual string trees at the headstock to optimize string down-pressure and break-angles. Paired with a classic 6-point synchronized vintage tremolo bridge, you can add subtle, expressive pitch warbles to your chords on the fly.

Specifications

Tonal Configuration Mapping (5-Way Switch Layout)

• Position 1 (Bridge Humbucker): Activates the powerful ceramic bridge humbucker. Delivers a sharp, high-output, and punchy voice optimized for driving distortion channels and searing modern rock riffs.

• Position 2 (Bridge + Middle Pickups): Combines the humbucker and center single-coil in parallel. Yields a bright, slightly compressed tone that sounds excellent for clean pop rhythms or indie chord progressions.

• Position 3 (Middle Pickup): Isolates the center single-coil pickup. Provides a highly balanced, earthy tone that serves as a fantastic middle ground for alternative rock rhythms.

• Position 4 (Middle + Neck Pickups): Activates the middle and neck single-coils simultaneously. Delivers that classic, hollow, funk-inspired “quack” voice optimized for expressive neo-soul rhythm work.

• Position 5 (Neck Pickup): Activates the isolated neck single-coil. Produces a warm, round, and deeply vocal character that fills out clean jazz pieces and delivers liquid-smooth blues leads.
