The S1007 PRO Black Limba adopts a decidedly "modern" approach: playing ergonomics, tuning stability, and precise response in distorted tones. The combination of a set neck in walnut/wenge and a 26.5" / 673.1 mm scale length aims to provide a controlled feel, particularly appreciated when seeking a sharp attack and stable intonation. The satin finish completes the "performance instrument" spirit: quick handling, sober look, and daily efficiency.
This guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a riff and solo machine, comfortable in demanding styles. The Modern D profile and 24 jumbo frets favor modern techniques (precise alternate picking, legato, tapping, controlled bends) while remaining comfortable for strong rhythmic playing.
Regarding styles, the S1007 PRO is particularly suited for modern metal, prog, core, djent, and all aesthetics requiring dense yet clear saturation. It can also very well cover powerful rock tones whenever you seek hold, sustain, and good note separation in chords.
The black limba body paired with a wenge top offers a rich and articulated sonic foundation: generally achieving a balance between warmth, midrange presence, and a firm enough response to maintain precision at high gain. The set neck (walnut/wenge) enhances the vibrational continuity between neck and body, with more pronounced sustain and a less "dry" attack than a bolt-on, while maintaining excellent definition.
The ebony fretboard, known for its smooth feel and quick response, provides a clear attack and a well-defined upper spectrum, useful for highlighting harmonics and keeping palm mutes clear. The 14" / 355.6 mm radius is very versatile: flat enough for bends and lead playing, yet natural for chords.
The amplification section features two Spira Villain PRO humbuckers (custom, Alnico V). In practice, this type of magnetization often results in a good compromise between impact, dynamics, and musicality: solid lows, a present midrange to "carry" the riff, and highs capable of cutting through without becoming harsh. With a 1 volume and 1 tone control layout, the approach remains straightforward: quick setup, play, and enjoy a direct response, ideal for pedals and high-gain amps.
Finally, the choice of a fixed bridge and locking tuners stabilizes tuning, improves attack consistency, and simplifies string changes. The result: a guitar that remains reliable in rehearsals, studio, and on stage, even with an energetic right hand.
To accompany the S1007 PRO safely, you can rely on universal essentials: a tuner (pedal or clip-on), picks adapted to your attack, and a microfiber cloth to maintain the satin finish and reduce fingerprints. For string gauge and a case choice, it is advisable to base your decision on your tunings and the exact dimensions of the instrument.
