BLACK LIMBA BODY WITH BEVELED CONTOURS
At the heart of this Electromatic CVT is a black limba body with bevelled contours. An exotic wood with singular looks and stellar tone, black limba is prized for it's balance of smooth, rich midrange with enhanced presence and clarity. The result is a voice that feels both familiar and refined — organic, musical, and effortlessly expressive. A smooth rounded heel allows for unimpeded access to the highest frets, while the bevelled contours not only add to the distinctive look but also provide a sleek and comfortable playing experience, making this easy to wield six-string feel like an extension of your body.
BLACK LIMBA NECK WITH PERFORMANCE “C” NECK PROFILE & BOUND ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD
We’ve crafted a balanced, rounded "C" profile with tapered shoulders that is comfortable for all players with just enough mass to ensure precise playability in all positions. An ideal neck material, black limba has exceptional resonance and a lively, responsive feel from the very first note. Crowning the neck is a genuine rosewood fingerboard with 1-ply aged white binding. With its rich, distinctive grain and smooth, comfortable feel, rosewood is as beautiful to look at as it is to play. Tonally, rosewood adds a full-bodied warmth and complex, singing midrange with lush harmonic depth.
GRAPHTECH NUBONE NUT FOR SUPERIOR TUNING STABILITY
A GraphTech NuBone nut delivers consistent and balanced tone, enhanced resonance and sustain, and superior playability. Optimised break angle and string-pull to the tuning keys solves the problem of strings sticking or slipping. These features create rock-solid stable tuning that will power your longest and most aggressive performances without missing a beat.
TWIN SIX™ HUMBUCKERS
Featuring Alnico 5 magnets, The Twin Six™ pickups provide strong midrange presence and attack, along with crisp highs and full lows resulting in a powerful set of pickups that deliver gut-punching power with remarkable balance and articulation. Each pickup features twelve adjustable pole pieces for precise attack and unrestrained flexibility, while vacuum wax-potting keeps noise and interference to a minimum.
ADJUSTABLE WRAPAROUND BRIDGE
Simplicity and functionality come together in the form of our adjustable wraparound tailpiece. A bridge and tailpiece all in one unit, the wraparound tailpiece provides enhanced sustain and note attack, with adjustable saddles for pinpoint intonation.
