Top

Flamed Eucalyptus

Flamed eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.) is a hardwood primarily sourced from Australia and parts of South America. It is recognized for its dramatic flame-like figuring, where the grain appears to ripple across the surface. The wood ranges in color from light golden brown to deep reddish hues, often with a natural shimmer that enhances its visual depth. With a fine, even texture and interlocking grain, flamed eucalyptus is both durable and highly decorative, making it a sought-after choice for instrument tops.

Lovely Curves

M-Series tops are bent on the armrest which keeps intact the beautiful grain as well as creating an ergonomic and delicate curve to rest on.

Modern Electronics

The M-Series comes equiped with our Modern Electronics.

Contrary to what the name might evoke, the Modern Configuration is modern by its powerversatility and potential, rather than being specifically meant for modern genres like prog or fusion. But it does it like nothing else !

This Configuration features active electronics, more complex layouts for advanced tonescaping, and our AURA III Pickups Family. These are noisecancelling pickups with modern components and advanced architectures.

Pickups
  • 2 AURA III-M

The AURA III-M boasts a side-by-side dual-coil design, engineered for bass players seeking a robust and powerful tone.

The side-by-side configuration enhances the depth and fullness of your bass, providing a well-rounded sonic experience that excels in heavy rock, metal, and other genres that require a strong bass foundation. The AURA III-M offers dynamic range and tonal complexity, ensuring that your bass lines cut through the mix with authority.
