Rosewood fretboard

Rosewood provides a well-balanced solid tone with a focused mid range.

Gotoh® MG-T locking machine heads

The Gotoh® MG-T locking machine heads achieve incredible tuning stability, cutting down string-changing time.

English Walnut top / American Basswood body

The English Walnut top featuring an exotic wood grain and the American Basswood body deliver a natural and flat tone.

Oval C Roasted Maple neck

Heat-treatment increases the wood’s stability, durability, water resistance and tolerance of temperature changes.

Gotoh® T1502 tremolo bridge

The T1502 tremolo bridge features steel saddles and a die-cast zinc tremolo block for a quick response and improved articulation. The 10.5mm string spacing allows for easy picking across strings and its snap-in construction makes it easy to load a tremolo arm.

dyna-MIX10 switching system w/Alter switch

The dyna-MIX 10 offers ten sound variations and can easily switch from humbucker and single coil modes with the mini switch. The power Tap mode provides a realistic single coil sound despite its two humbucker pickup layout.

Seymour Duncan® Hyperion™ Pickups

Seymour Duncan® Hyperion™ Pickups feature a moderate output through Alnico-5 magnets to keep the clarity of the fundamental tone when using a distortion sound, and to deliver a clear pick attack. From treble to bass, the overall tonal balance is evenly adjusted., and works well with various effect pedals.

Ergonomic rear body contour

A shallow body back contour and a big forearm contour make the guitar body fit the player naturally, thus increasing playing comfort. The AZ body has a deep waist and different radii on each body edge curve, making it easier to play in both standing or sitting positions.

Super All Access Neck Joint

The Super All Access Neck Joint increases playability and allows for easy access to the higher frets.
