EMG Active 81/89R pickups dish out hot tone that is well suited for high gain. Five piece maple/walnut necks with thru construction provides great sustain and stability.

Grover Tuners

Based on the original Rotomatic, but with an improved higher ratio gearing. The 18:1 ratio provides for finer tuning and greater stability. The finer gears provide smoother tuning and a higher degree of backlash elimination.

81: Utilizing powerful ceramic magnets and close aperture coils, the tone was designed with detailed intensity, incredible amounts of high end cut and fluid sustain. This pickup will make your leads slice right through even the densest mix. 89: Loaded with Alnico V magnets and has separate preamps each providing custom outputs for both dual coil and single coil modes (R Version use REAR coil ). In dual coil mode, the sound is rich, warm and powerful, but still very clear and is similar to the 85.

This guitar is a great value, I can't believe how well done the fit and finish are. The sound is fantastic even unplugged. It is no featherweight, but that is why it sounds so good. The only minor complaint is the action is a bit high coming from the factory, but a quick setup fixes that. The price and buying experience from zZounds is as good as it gets. I cannot sat enough about how well zZounds handled my purchase. I am extremely satisfied with the whole process and look forward to buy from them in the future.
