Description
Engineered for the most discerning guitarists, the Type AP1.6FRTY+ stands as a premier offering within the top-tier Solar Type AP1 range, blending superior elegance with elite performance. This instrument serves as the definitive, precise professional tool for both studio recordings and live stage applications, showcasing our expert craftsmanship, technical skill, and meticulous attention to detail through its striking aesthetic. To ensure unparalleled sustain and tonal quality in a locking tremolo system, the guitar is equipped with a Gotoh 1996T bridge complete with a big brass block and spring silencers. Its black pickguard houses a set of high-gain Duncan Solar+ pickups featuring Alnico VIII magnets, which deliver increased output, aggression, and impact. Designed with a 25.5” scale length and a set-thru construction, the guitar pairs an alder body with a fast, C-shaped three-piece maple neck. The ebony fingerboard is adorned with 24 super-jumbo stainless steel frets, while Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dots ensure effortless navigation during live performances. Solar 18:1 locking tuners simplify string changes and tuning stability, and a five-way blade switch paired with volume and tone controls provides expansive tonal flexibility. This model is finished in a taxi yellow gloss.
