The Draken has a little attitude with the body and headstock "Fangs". The specs are the same as the VXtreme and the neck does incorporate the MapleCore for increased attack. It is available with the Original Floyd Rose. Our V2 pickups will give you an balanced tone. The V2 is a topnotch pickup that stands with the finest "standard" humbuckers and is the choice for a classic, known, sound. If you like a bit more string definition our new Dynasty pickup, made in our plant, is it. Based on the PAF tone curve the Dynasty has a unique design that increases string definition and fairly high output - a monster of a pickup. If you want a pickup designed for higher gain amps with a bit more cut and excellent string definition, then our Siren, also made in our plant, is your ticket. The Draken is more than just looks. It is constructed with the same expertise, tight fit neck joint, precision and care as the rest of our USA instruments and will hold its own on any stage or studio.
