  • Instrument Type: Double-cutaway solidbody electric guitar

  • Neck Specifications: One-piece maple neck with GRG profile, 15.75-inch (400mm) radius, reverse headstock, matte finish, and All Access Neck Joint (AANJ)

  • Body Material: Solid poplar body finished in Black Flat matte polyurethane with a matching multi-ply black pickguard

  • Pickup Configuration: HH layout with dual passive Ibanez Infinity R ceramic-magnet humbucking pickups

  • Hardware & Bridge: Ibanez F106 fixed hardtail bridge with 6 independent steel saddles, 10.5mm string spacing, and black enclosed die-cast machine heads

  • Scale & Nut Width: 25.5-inch (648mm) scale length, 43mm black plastic nut, and 24 medium frets on a bound purpleheart fretboard

High-Performance Ergonomics and Resonant Tonewood Architecture

Aggressive Poplar Chassis and All Access Neck Joint

The physical foundation of this model bridges vintage tracking comfort with elite performance tolerances. Built from highly resonant poplar, the contoured body provides a balanced, mid-forward acoustic core characterized by crisp articulation and an even low-end distribution. The stealth Black Flat matte coat minimizes friction while emphasizing a clean aesthetic presence under high-intensity stage lighting. Upper register fret access is optimized through the carved heel design of the All Access Neck Joint (AANJ), which drops the neck seating deeper into the pocket to clear the palm when working up to the 24th fret. The back body contours adapt organically to sitting or standing performance positions, minimizing muscle fatigue over extended tracking sessions.

Reverse Headstock Maple Neck and Bound Purpleheart Fingerboard

The neck architecture utilizes a premium solid maple construction that resists mechanical twist and environmental shifts, stabilizing the wood fibers against climate shifts, humidity fluctuations, and rigorous mechanical tension. This maple construction hosts a flat 15.75-inch radius bound purpleheart fretboard, bringing a fast feel and dense mid-range snap to complex chord voicings and rapid lead passes. The striking layout features a reverse headstock that alters string compliance over the nut, providing tighter string tension across lower registers for heavy riffing. Crowned with 24 medium frets and marked by muted black reverse sharktooth position inlays, the neck assembly eliminates the friction felt during extreme wide-interval string bends while keeping intonation precise.

Advanced Ceramic Magnetics and Expanded Matrix Electronics

Infinity R High-Output Passive Voice Matrix

Sonically anchored by dual passive humbuckers engineered with powerful ceramic magnets, the onboard electronics deliver a powerful voice optimized for overdriven tube preamps and high-gain digital profiling rigs. The bridge humbucker is wound for focused note separation, punching through complex dense mixes with structural midrange authority and tight, percussive bass transients. Conversely, the neck pickup yields a rich, liquid-smooth response with rounded top-end overtones, perfect for clean syncopations, blues phrasing, or soaring high-register leads. Both humbuckers maintain exceptional clarity under heavy saturation settings, rejecting external interference and minimizing noise floor spikes during recording sessions.

Versatile 5-Way Lever Switching Network

The real power of this tonal design lies in the integration of the 5-way lever switching matrix, controlled via independent master volume and master tone dome knobs. This setup unleashes a broad spectrum of pickup configurations, transcending standard dual-humbucker boundaries by offering distinct coil combinations. Moving the lever activates specialized routing paths, running internal coils in parallel or isolating individual sections to approximate crisp single-coil performance traits. The output remains structurally reinforced by an innovative mono-unit output jack constructed from a solid, single metal piece to eliminate loose components and prevent grounding failure, allowing you to jump from aggressive metal rhythms to glass-clear clean runs instantly without touching your amp's volume trim.
