Description
Representing the pinnacle of both aesthetics and utility, this premium Type S1.6 instrument from the top-tier Solar Type S1 range delivers exceptional elegance and playability specifically tailored for rock and metal players. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail and expert skill, this guitar serves as the definitive professional tool for any studio or stage environment. Its robust neck-through construction features a 25.5-inch scale, pairing a mahogany body topped with a poplar purple burl veneer with a sleek, five-ply mahogany and jatoba neck shaped into a fast C-profile. The ebony fingerboard is equipped with 24 super-jumbo stainless steel frets and practical Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dots to ensure effortless navigation during live performances.
To guarantee unmatched stability, the guitar incorporates an Evertune constant-tension bridge, a fully mechanical system that maintains perfect tuning in any situation, complemented by Solar 18:1 locking tuners and a durable PPS nut. The tonal versatility is driven by a pair of Duncan Solar pickups, offering a comprehensive range of sounds from crystal-clear tones to intense overdrive, all while maintaining maximum clarity and fluid sustain. Featuring five-way blade pickup switching, full access to the upper frets, and sophisticated black binding, this guitar is finished in a striking poplar purple burst matte.
