* Deep waist body and different radii on each body edge curve, making it easier to play in both standing or sitting positions.
* AZ Roasted Maple neck was heat-treated which increases the wood's stability, durability, water resistance and tolerance of temperature changes.
* Roasted Maple fretboard was also heat-treated to help it provide a well-balanced note attack and tone with rich sustain.
* In order to achieve the ultimate neck grip comfort, the fretboard edge was finished with a smooth curve.
* Super All Access Neck Joint increases playability and eases access to the highest frets.
* Stainless steel frets boast excellent corrosion resistance and the wide and tall fret-type offers a quick response and good articulation when playing chords and a clear tone while playing single notes.
* Luminescent side dot position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks while performing on dark stages.
* Seymour Duncan® Hyperion™ Pickups feature a moderate output through Alnico-5 magnets, which retain the clarity of the fundamental tone when using a distorted sound and deliver a clear pick attack.
* Dyna-MIX 9 offers nine sound variations. One Dyna-MIX 9 mode is even able to simulate a humbucker sound from the combination of the 2 single coil pickups.
* T1502 tremolo bridge, developed in collaboration with GOTOH®, features steel saddles for a quick response and improved articulation. The 10.5mm string spacing allows for easy picking across strings, enabling techniques such as string skipping and hybrid picking.
