The Parallel Wizard neck has a consistent thickness of 19 mm throughout, delivering an exceptional playing experience for guitarists who prefer a higher playing position. Its 3-piece roasted maple and bubinga construction ensures excellent long-term stability and durability.

The beautiful birdseye maple fretboard gives this model an exotic look. Additionally, it has been thermally treated to provide balanced attack and rich sustain.

The stainless steel frets offer excellent corrosion resistance. Their wide and tall profile delivers fast response and effortless articulation when playing chords, along with clear tone on single notes.

The quilted maple top enriches the tonal response when playing with a pick. The nyatoh body wood delivers warm, rich mid-lows.

The Q58 pickups are specifically designed for headless guitars. They provide a clear, defined sound, offering excellent tonal balance across all frequencies. The lows are powerful without becoming muddy, and the highs are bright and clear, never harsh. This results in each note within a chord structure being well-defined and clearly audible. Thanks to their tonal balance and extremely low noise performance, these pickups work exceptionally well with both digital and analog effects.

This custom string lock is a one-piece unit with a very simple design. This means the hardware requires less maintenance, is highly durable, and allows for very easy string changes. Plus, no special strings are needed, so you can keep using your preferred gauge and brand.

The Mono-Tune bridges offer a wide range of intonation adjustment, enabling easy setup for tuning down a whole step or more. String height is also easily adjustable, and each saddle uses less material overall, contributing to a more natural and organic tone.

The dyna-MIX 10 provides ten sound variations and allows easy switching between humbucker and single-coil modes via a mini toggle switch. The Power Tap mode delivers a realistic single-coil tone despite the dual humbucker pickup configuration.
