Through the clean channel it has a crisp and clear sound, great for playing some funky numbers. Switching to the neck pickup gives you great bluesy tones to play around with and the hollow body adds to the roundness of these clean tones. Adding some colour with a bit of overdrive you start to appreciate where the tone and backbone sound of AC/DCs riffs come from. The punchy tone bursts through and complements any rock riffs that are at the tip of your fingers. Whacking up the gain or switching to a second overdrive channel, the guitar does you proud for some ballsy, grungy tones, good for blasting out some Metallica style riffs.

The playability of this guitar is great, helped with the double cutaway you can easily play all notes on the fretboard. It’s comfortable and feels first-rate in your hand whilst playing. The note definition is crisp as you would expect and it stays in tune well.

Being semi-hollow the guitar is light but not off putting, it is finished well with binding round the body and the neck with mother of pearl inlays in the frets and the headstock logo.

Body Wood:All our instruments are handcrafted from quality tone woods. If you're just starting out, we recommend you choose the wood that appeals to you most based on its appearance.

	Alder (+$40.00) Alder is used extensively for bodies because of its lighter weight and its full sound. Its closed grain makes this wood easy to finish. Alder's natural color is a light tan with little or no distinct grain lines. It looks good with a sunburst or a solid color finish. The tone is reputed to be most balanced with equal doses of lows, mids and highs.
	Mahogany - Default We use African Mahogany in our body production. Mahogany is a fine grained wood with great musical properties. The tone is warm and full with good sustain.
	Ash (+$30.00) It is a fairly light weight wood. The grain is open and the color is creamy. This wood is a very nice choice for clear finishes. It is a very musical wood offering a very nice balance of brightness and warmth with a lot of "pop".
	Maple - Default Hard Maple is a very hard, heavy and dense wood. This is the same wood that we use on our necks. The grain is closed and very easy to finish. The tone is very bright with long sustain and a lot of bite.
	Basswood - Default This is a lighter weight wood and the color is white, but often has nasty green mineral streaks in it. This is a closed-grain wood. Sound-wise, Basswood has a nice, growley, warm tone with good mids.
