The San Dimas alder body is coupled with a bolt-on maple neck featuring a pair of graphite-reinforcement rods to resist bending and warping under environmental stresses. The speed neck profile is designed for lightning fast playing and completely unhindered position shifts, while the comfortably rolled fingerboard edges provide the broken-in feel of an instrument with plenty of playing miles on it, and plenty more to go. Perfect for faster tempos, the 12"-16" compound radius maple fingerboard hosts 22 jumbo frets and black dot inlays. The humbucking Seymour Duncan® JB™ TB-4 bridge pickup and single-coil Seymour Duncan Custom Flat Strat® SSL-6 middle and Seymour Duncan Custom Flat Strat SSL-6 RWRP neck pickups are mounted directly to the body for increased vibration transfer. Extensive tonal variations are on top with a five-way blade pickup switch, volume control and a no-load tone control that operates like a standard tone control from positions one through nine, and removes itself from the circuit at position ten for transparent sound. A Charvel HT6 string-through-body hardtail bridge is designed for improved intonation and enhanced sustain and resonance.
