Alder Body Wood

Alder Body Wood is a popular body type in ST style electric guitars, known for its contoured design that comfortably fits against the body, including the armrest.

The alder wood used in the body construction is a lightweight wood that falls in the middle weight classification of woods. It offers good expressive qualities in the mid-range and bright treble frequencies, making it a popular choice for iconic guitar brands.

Body Wood and Sound

The Alder body wood produces a versatile tone that can handle a variety of genres with its balanced low, pronounced mid, and boosted high frequencies.

It is highly valued by builders and players for its excellent resonance, attack, sustain, and tonal balance.

The four available body colors are finished with a glossy shine and matched with a three-ply black or white pearl pickguard for a sophisticated look.

Maple Neck

The well-dried maple neck is very sturdy, enhancing the reliability of the performance.

For those with relatively small hands, a comfortable slim C-shaped neck profile is applied, and a skunk stripe is added to the back of the neck to increase durability.

Due to its matte finish, you can feel a smoother playing experience when changing left-hand position or sliding.

Overall, these features provide an excellent playing experience for musicians of various skill levels and hand sizes.

Fretboard

The maple or purpleheart fretboard has a 9.5-inch (241mm) radius and 22 medium jumbo frets firmly installed. It has a scale length of 25.5 inches (648mm) and position markers on both the front and side.

Semi Rounded Neck Joint

The high-strength bolt-on neck joint, which supports 4 points, is proven to provide long sustain, similar to a set neck joint that connects the neck and body by gluing them together through various experiments.

Moreover, the bolt-on neck can be separated from the body, providing significant advantages in repair and maintenance.

In particular, the use of a semi-round neck joint plate and the processing of the edges into a smooth curve make it easier to play with the left hand in the high position around the 18th to 22nd fret area.

Headstock

The bone nut, a natural material, along with the angled logo headplate, enhances the sustain of the guitar strings and provides clear resonance.

Through the truss rod adjustment, the neck curvature can be corrected, and the reinforced plastic truss rod hole, which is tightened with a metal hex wrench, protects the wood from damage.

Locking Tuners

The locking tuners are very convenient for quick string changes, which are necessary due to the nature of electric guitar strings.
Simply:
   1. Insert the guitar string
   2. Tighten it firmly
   3. Lock it in place
   4. Cut off the excess string.
* Note that you don't have to wind the guitar string around the tuner post multiple times after tuning, so please keep this in mind.

Electronics

TESLA, a premium pickup manufacturer based in Korea, collaborated in the design of the HSS pickup set used in this guitar.
The TESLA Model S, a single-coil pickup for the neck and middle positions, is a faithful reproduction of 1950s vintage single-coil pickups, featuring heavy formvar wire, Alnico 5 pole pieces, premium cloth wiring with wax potting.
The TESLA Model H, a humbucker pickup for the bridge position, features polyurethane wire, Alnico 5 magnets, nickel silver base plate and premium wax potting, providing a thick and punchy modern sound that many players prefer.

Controls and Pickup Positions

You can switch between the five pickup positions and toggle between single-coil and humbucker modes using the switch. The guitar also features a master volume control, as well as separate tone controls for the neck and middle pickups. The intuitive design allows for easy and quick tone changes even during playing a guitar. With the pickup positions and coil-splitting toggle switch, you can create a wide range of tones to suit your playing style.

2-point Tremolo Bridge

The guitar features a 2-point gold hardware tremolo bridge in a luxurious color, which allows for free tremolo arming. The bridge pole height can be adjusted with a hex wrench, enabling precise settings for string gauge or tuning method changes.
In particular, the saddle portion is finished smoothly and flat at the top for easy maintenance, such as dust cleaning.

15mm Padded Gigbag

A durable 15mm pad provides great protection for the guitar.
When placed on the ground in a standing position, a thick pad is added to prevent damage to the bottom of the guitar from strap-pin impacts.
It also features a neck pillow for protection and stability, and wear-resistant fabric is added to areas of contact with metal parts such as strings, tuning machines, and bridges to prevent wear and tear caused by friction.
