Custom Shop Upgrades: Lindy Fralin Pickups & Heavy Aged Finish

• Sherwood Green Metallic w/ Matching Headstock: A classic vintage color pairing with a matching headstock, giving the instrument an iconic 1960s aesthetic.
• Heavy Aged Finish: Expertly aged nitrocellulose finish featuring extensive lacquer checking, wear marks, and authentic vintage patina.
• Rosewood Pickup Covers: Features custom wooden pickup covers that seamlessly blend with the rosewood fingerboard.

Tonewoods & Playability

• Alder Body & Rosewood Fingerboard: The golden combination for vintage-style tones, offering warm mids, organic punch, and smooth string balance.
• Jescar FW47104 Frets: High-grade fretwork ensuring effortless playability and precise intonation across 22 frets.
• Luminova Side Position Markers: Glow-in-the-dark side dots for maximum readability on dark stages.
