Extreme sound

Sharp, crunchy, absolutely annihilating. The Seymour Duncan Blackened Black Winter bridge pickup can only be described this way. Its exceptionally high output and ceramic magnet design delivers glistening clarity and a wonderfully focused low end. Push the gain levels hard and achieve decimating distortion, feel the thrill of aggressive palm mutes, or soar through the mix with strong lead tones. This pickup can handle anything. It is also coil-splitable via the push/pull volume control, meaning you can experience the wonders of single-coil possibilities. Every note will thrive, blazing outwards with fire in its wake.

Complementing the annihilating tone that is released from such a fierce pickup, the Floyd Rose 1000 bridge allows for even more fiery tonal possibilities. Go wild. Let loose with exhilarating divebombs or add a shimmering dimension of pitch bends to your sound - the tremolo bridge and locking nut will ensure you have stable tuning behind you.

A striking mahogany body

The killer sound of this guitar is mirrored by a frighteningly brilliant mahogany body. And it is not just stunning to look at. Mahogany provides a rich and resonant tone that begs the wondrous textures of sparkling harmonies. Prepare for an immersive, breath-taking sound that your audience won't be able to turn away from. Mahogany is also conveniently sturdy, a desired attribute for any guitarist wanting to absolutely thrash on stage without any inhibition. This monstrous model can take it.

If exceptional strength isn't enough, the set-through construction promises to enhance your playing experience even more by providing glorious sustain. Every single note you play will be projected out into the room with immense force and is guaranteed to ring out with razor-sharp clarity. And when you're equipped with premium hardware, you can be sure to have long-lasting quality on your side.

A sublime neck and fretboard

The magnificent neck extends a wondrous mahogany construction whilst exhibiting a thin 'U' contour. This sleek design is superbly comfortable to hold and ensures you can play with ease. On top lies an exquisite ebony fretboard. It is the sign of a high-end instrument with divine quality and grants you a sumptuously smooth playing experience. Go wild on the 24 extra-jumbo frets and slide across the board at lightning speed, ebony's high oil-content allows you to play in silky and seamless style whilst your fiery notes fly from the strings like sparks. It is absent of inlays to maintain a dark and striking aesthetic, allowing the glow-in-the-dark side markers to add electrifying details.
