Striking purpleheart fingerboard for smooth play and visual contrast
Purpleheart control knobs and headstock inlay for a refined boutique finish
Vintage-style J pickups with Alnico 5 magnets for classic punch and clarity
Gotoh GB707 chrome tuning machines for smooth, reliable tuning
High-mass bridge for enhanced sustain and tuning stability
