The sacred trio. Nothing beats the combination of a humbucker with two single coils. Especially when they're all custom DiMarzios. In this guitar they offer a huge tonal palette for you to play with, so you can play any style or genre you desire. The two single coils also benefit from the patented Silent Circuit technology, which eliminates the loud hum which these pickups create – you'll sound cleaner and clearer than ever.
The humbucker in the bridge position offers the perfect level of output. It can go to full on crunch and distortion or be rolled back for a crystal-clear clean sound. Each of the single coils in the neck and middle positions glows with a bright, twangy tone which sounds superb for lead playing and chords. The possibilities are endless and, with a little experimentation, you'll find the perfect voicing for your music.
Premium maple neck
Sleek. Refined. And ready for anything. You'll fall in love with the expertly carved select maple neck adorning this superb guitar. It has a smooth surface for unrivalled playability, letting you move between frets like a flash. And its bright resonance helps to give your notes even more prominence in the mix, making them super punchy. You'll be inspired to write riffs all day long on this exceptionally satisfying neck.
Finessed fretting
It has no equal. The beauty of the rosewood fretboard is surpassed only by its incredible feel and sound. With a supremely smooth surface, your fingers will be able to skim along in pure comfort. And the wood itself has a rich, warm tone and impressive sustain for an incredible sound all around. You’re in for a treat when you experience just how sublime it feels to make music with this impeccable fretboard.
Vibrant vibrato
Abuse it all you want. The whammy bar will let you put that classic vibrato in your riffs without sending the strings out of tune. It is supported by a world class Music Man floating tremolo bridge, which gives you endless string support and masses of sustain. Add into the mix Schaller M6-IND locking tuners and you've got a completely shipshape, watertight guitar which will always sound exceptional.
