Despite it’s small size, it’s still very much a serious instrument which can be used for live performances and recording. Armed with a single Fishman Fluence Modern pickup there are plenty of high gain tones.

As the guitar is going to be travelling to different climates and altitudes, the neck is laminated for strength and stability. Also to cope with different climates and reduce the possibility of problems with shrinkage, the fretboard is a man made ebony which greatly reduces issues with shrinkage compared to actual Ebony.
