It features a Wizard III Maple neck that is thin, flat and fast, yet strong and sturdy, allowing for easy and comfortable playing. The fretboard features 24 jumbo frets, allowing for a wide tonal range, and offers a 400mmR radius which sits comfortably in your hand.
Mahogany Body & Maple Neck
The stunning flamed maple top features an eye-catching blue lagoon burst flat finish that is sure to get you noticed. It has an excellent neck joint that allows for easy high-note shredding. With a body constructed from mahogany, the guitar produces tones that are exceptionally balanced and offer plenty of depth. The mahogany construction means the guitar is also lightweight and durable. The maple neck offers a rounded tone and helps keep things tight and bright, whilst the mahogany body creates a warm, soft tone that also brings with it some grind and bite to give it some roughness.
Sculpted Body For Unrestricted Playing
The body features a sculpted shape that has been designed for unrestricted playing. This allows you to pull out those full-blown power chords and high speed riffs without the fear of the guitar digging into you. The neck joint is cut in perfectly, allowing you to easily access the highest notes. With a body constructed with mahogany, the guitar produces tones that are exceptionally balanced and offer plenty of depth.

They offer an excellent dynamic response and provide accelerated bass response for exceptionally fast tracking of high-speed riffing, with crushing mids and high-end articulation, allowing you to shred with a crunchy sound that is full, tight, and still cuts through the mix.
