This version is designed for a thicker, bolder sound than standard vintage pickups. The USM pickups still have the high end sparkle and chime, but have added mid and lows. SSS and HSS versions are available and the "Punch Control" is standard. The punch control takes the place of what would be the second tone control. When you are in the 5-way position of the neck or neck+middle the punch control (as you turn it to zero) adds the bridge pickup. This gives you added pickups selections of a) neck+bridge b) neck+middle+bridge. Further you can upgrade to the DiMarzio pickups. The SSS set is the Area 67 for neck and middle, Area 61 for the bridge. Modernized for no-hum these are big sounding singles with fullness. The HSS set is our DiMarzio Scorpion H with the Area 67 for the neck and middle.

What brings this guitar into the "boutique quality" level are the features of a patented small heel for better upper fret access which is coupled with a neck "pocketing" that does not allow the neck to shift and is compressed into the body for improved sound transfer. This makes the guitar more alive and resonant with a stable neck and increase fret access. The body is very nicely contoured and very comfortable. The fingerboard is a conical radius shape. A conical radius fingerboard is more expensive to manufacture, but results in the ability for lower, more consistent action with the ease of playability. The neck is finished with a special natural oil that keeps the "wood" feel of the neck and stays fast under heat and friction. The neck feels broken in from the start. The neck features our patented truss rod for smooth adjustment and is instantly and easily accessible.

Very high quality gloss finishes add to the beauty of these
guitars and each guitar is crafted with precision and
attention to detail.
