An incredibly close action makes wicked-fast runs and licks feel nearly effortless. Five-piece maple/walnut construction gives your notes plenty of bite and snap.

Both of these baddies dish out a solid tone perfect for rock or metal players who love speed and precise tone. Your selector blade features five pickup combinations and settings -- neck pickup, neck pickup parallel, both pickups in humbucker mode, both pickups in single-coil mode, and bridge pickup.
