Neck: Wenge with Nick Johnston C Profile

The neck is crafted from wenge, a dense, stable hardwood known for its durability and smooth texture. Its natural oiled finish enhances playability, while the custom Nick Johnston C shape provides a comfortable grip for both lead and rhythm styles. The neck profile tapers from 20.32mm at the 1st fret to 21.59mm at the 12th, providing a familiar feel with just the right amount of heft.

Electronics: 5-Way Switch with Push-Pull Coil Split

The intuitive control layout features a 5-way pickup selector, a master volume, and a master tone knob with a push-pull function. The push-pull coil split transforms the bridge humbucker into a single-coil, providing an additional layer of tonal flexibility.
