Seven-saddled tune-o-matic bridge is backed up by a stoptail bar and fronted with a pair of EMG`s active humbuckers for extended range guitars. Standard controls unit follows the pickups. Set in neck is made of mahogany and it features the modern asymmetrical contour in the back. 22-fret fingerboard on it`s top is made of rosewood.
