Grover Rotomatic 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

Rosewood/Maple Fingerboard

Rosewood is naturally oily, and works well for any surface that sees frequent human contact. The sound is richer in fundamental than maple because the stray overtones are absorbed into the oily pores. Very bright and dense, maple is highly reflective. When used on a fretboard, maple encourages tremendous amounts of higher overtones and its tight, almost filtered away bass favors harmonics and variations in pick attack.

Seymour Duncan SJAG-1 Pickups

Every detail in sound, construction, and appearance is faithfully duplicated in this vintage pickup. Even the original hand grinding process is used on the magnetic pole pieces. The result is that classic '60s sound. Middle pickup is reverse wound, reverse polarity ("RW/RP") to create a hum canceling effect when read more used together with the bridge or neck pickup.

Maple Neck

Maple has a uniform grain, it's strong and stable, and it has less reaction from environmental changes than other hardwoods. Its tone is highly reflective, and focuses more energy onto the body wood. Maple transfers a bright tone to the body which complements the warm tones of a mahogany body.

It's a breeze to play and the thing stays in tune. The pickup configuration options open up a wide variety of tones. I've wrote and recorded entire songs just using this instrument. The price is good, the quality has been great. I wish I could find a fitted case for this though. If you like, The Cure, New Order, Joy Division, or old surf music this is a must have.
