Tone
The
alder delivers focused mids, firm lows, and controlled highs, providing a balanced foundation that cuts through the mix. The
rosewood fingerboard softens the upper spectrum for singing solos and fluid arpeggios. The pair of
LC humbuckers offers grain, precision, and quick response; the
5-way selector opens useful combinations to switch from articulate cleans to dense, tight drive. The
hardtail bridge maximizes sustain and stability, while the
25.5" / 648 mm scale length provides ideal tension for crisp riffs and reliable tuning.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Choose electric string sets in 09-42 or 10-46 gauge depending on your touch, a comfortable standard strap, a quality 6.35 mm jack cable, a stable A-frame stand, and specific care products for rosewood to nourish and protect the fingerboard.
