~Features~

8-string, multi-scale design

“Parallel Wizard AS-8” shape 5-piece maple/walnut neck
This neck is constructed from a 5-piece combination of maple and walnut, designed to prioritize natural sound while ensuring structural strength.
The neck features an asymmetrical shape that gently curves toward the low-string side, while maintaining a uniform thickness of 21 mm along its entire length.
It is designed to provide a natural grip that facilitates technical playing techniques such as sweep picking and skipping.

Ebony Fingerboard
It features a quick attack and rich sustain.

American Basswood Body
American basswood is used for its neutral, natural, and flat sound.
We aimed to reduce weight without compromising sound or balance, resulting in a 40mm body thickness.

Body design optimized for stability and playability when held
Ergonomic Rear Body Contour
A cut runs along the entire length of the upper rear body surface, following its contour.
This cut allows the guitar to naturally tilt upward when held, hugging the body closely to make the fingerboard easier to see and enhance playability.

Jumbo-sized stainless steel frets
These frets are easy to maintain, offer a quick attack, provide excellent separation when playing chords, and produce a clear tone when playing single notes.
We’ve adopted jumbo-sized frets, which allow for light fingering and excel at playing fast passages and performing smooth bends.

Fishman Pickup* Uses a 006P battery (9V)
Equipped with a Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickup that delivers an aggressive tone and powerful attack while minimizing noise to the absolute minimum.
The Fishman Fluence Voicing switch allows you to select from the following voicing options:

Fishman Fluence 3-Voice Alnico
Voice 1: A high-output sound with roundness and body, offering excellent dynamics and picking nuances.
Voice 2: A clean, focused, and crisp tone ideal for the neck position.
Voice 3: A crystal-clear, glass-like single-coil sound.

Fishman Fluence 3-Voice Ceramic
Voice 1: A high-output sound characterized by a sharp attack and tight bass response.
Voice 2: An organic, punchy, passive-like tone.
Voice 3: A bright, clear, and well-defined single-coil sound.

Gotoh MG-T Locking Machine Heads
Equipped with Gotoh MG-T locking machine heads, renowned for their tuning stability and ease of string changes.
The design allows you to easily lock the strings in place by turning the dial after threading them through the post holes.
