Its roasted alder body paired with a stunning 2-piece quilt maple top delivers punchy resonance and shimmering clarity, while the DSV and DSH Plus pickups provide everything from smooth, vocal leads to aggressive modern bite. The satin-finished maple neck with a slim Even C profile and jumbo stainless frets feels fast, effortless, and built for the long haul. Add in the Gotoh Floyd and Suhr locking tuners, and you’ve got rock-solid tuning stability for any stage or studio. A true lifetime-level investment guitar!
