• Signature Inlays & Side Dots

S-Series Inlays are subtle, elegant rework of our standard inlays. They are an outlined version, to preserve the private stock woods' grain. They are matching your top, and extracted as one piece of wood each.

• EVO Gold Frets

Made from a special copper alloy, EVO Gold Frets offer a perfect blend of strength and longevity without sacrificing tonal clarity. They are remarkably resistant to wear, ensuring that your instrument stays in peak condition for years, even under heavy use.

Not only do they provide a silky-smooth playing experience, but their distinct gold color adds an extra layer of aesthetic sophistication to your instrument.

• Model 5

The Model 5 Guitar takes the essence of the Model 1 Bass and distills it into a six-string marvel. With its smaller footprint and superb balance, this guitar is a joy to play. Its ergonomic design ensures that you can effortlessly glide up and down the fretboard, while its tonal versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of musical styles. The Model 5 combines the best of both worlds, offering the playability of a guitar with the spirit of a bass, making it a versatile instrument for the discerning musician.

• Number of strings : 6

The universal standard for electric and acoustic guitars. Versatile and intuitive, covering all genres and playing styles with countless tuning possibilities and ergonomic familiarity.

• Scale Length : Long - 25,5"

Classic guitar scale length delivering bright response, clear attack, and balanced string tension. Standard on many iconic electric guitars, offering precision and dynamic range.

• Number of frets : 22 - Medium/Medium - EVO Gold

Traditional fret count favored for its vintage aesthetic and tonal response. Provides slightly warmer neck pickup placement and classic feel.

• Neck Profile : M

Versatile and balanced neck profile suited to most playing styles. Offers ergonomic comfort and support without feeling too thin or chunky.

• Fretboard Radius : Balanced 10 to 14"

A modern compound radius optimized for both chord comfort near the nut and flatness for easy bending and lead work higher up the neck.

• Body : Red Alder

Alder is a lightweight, closed-grain hardwood known for its uniform density and stability. Its relatively soft texture makes it easy to machine and finish. Alder vibrates evenly across its surface, producing a balanced energy response. It is a standard choice for electric guitars due to its consistency and reliability.

• Neck : Birdseye Norwegian Maple

Birdseye Maple offers the same structural properties as plain maple but features distinctive, decorative figuring caused by growth anomalies. Its medium weight, stiffness, and durability make it functionally identical to standard maple, with added visual luxury prized for high-end necks

• Fretboard : Madagascar Rosewood

Madagascar Rosewood is denser and harder than Indian Rosewood, with a more vivid color range from reddish-brown to dark purples. Its tight pores offer a smooth, fast-playing surface with excellent wear resistance. This species is prized for its exotic aesthetic and high-end visual complexity.
