Specs

Body Two piece swamp ash with comfort heel contour
This improves the access to the higher frets by removing some of the bulk of the heel joint without compromising strength.
Finish Danish oil and beeswax
Super smooth, warm and natural feeling wood. No stickiness. Any colour stain available
Neck Maple,C shape, skunk stripe, satin finish
Super smooth and fast feeling neck. No sweaty stickiness.
Fingerboard Ebony
Extremely hard wood that bring out the highs and provides a very smooth playing surface.
Frets 22 medium jumbo frets
For easier bends and a modern feel.
Nut Earvana compensated nut
Improves the intonation at the nut end of the neck to make open chords much sweeter. A subtle upgrade that provides a dramatic benefit.
Tuners Wilkinson mini tuners
18/1 ratio chrome mini tuners.
Pickups Bareknuckle BKP91 matched pair
"Alnico V magnets with slightly hotter than stock windings. The brighter magnet along with extra windings serve up hot and fat single coil grind - more weight in the mid range with excellent top end detail."
Controls 1 Volume and 1 Tone,3 position pickup selector
Logarhythmic pots are used to ensure the full range of the control is usable. A Hovland Musicap capacitor makes the tone control very dynamic. The middle position on the pickup selector gives both pickups out of phase for a funky honkiness. The pickup and control cavities are properly earthed and heavily shielded with thick copper shielding tape to all but eliminate interference and hum.
Bridge and tail piece TonePros tune-o-matic in nickel
Top spec precision engineered bridge and tail piece that has retaining bolts that improve "coupling", eliminate rattles and improves tone and sustain.
