EMG pickups are state-of-the-art, popular pickups for electric guitars and basses, known for clear sound reproduction, low noise and versatility. With their active technology, they produce a strong, interference-resistant signal, especially in high-gain situations. Available in various versions, they offer vintage to modern sounds and enable flexible sound adjustments with features such as push-pull potentiometers. Particularly appreciated in rock and metal, EMG pickups are characterized by reliability and first-class sound quality.
The Hipshot® Bridge is a high-quality solution for electric guitars and basses, known for precision, stability and versatility. Hipshot® products are widely used in guitar technology and represent innovation and quality. Available as fixed bridge and tremolo bridges, they feature robust construction and high-quality materials such as stainless steel, ensuring longevity and tuning stability. The bridges allow for easy adjustment of string position and intonation, promoting improved string vibration transfer for a clear and resonant sound.
Locking tuners are specifically designed to increase tuning stability while making string changes easier. The main difference from traditional tuners is the way the strings are attached. With locking tuners, the string is not only wrapped around the mechanism, but also secured by a locking system. This system consists of a small clamping mechanism or screw that holds the string in place.
A “set-neck” (glued-in) neck is a design that is characterized by its tonal and playing properties. In contrast to neck-body connections, where the neck is screwed, the set-neck neck is firmly glued to the guitar body. The fixed neck connection eliminates the need for screws and additional connection mechanisms, resulting in a more direct transmission of string vibrations to the body. The result is a powerful, resonant sound with longer sustain.
A rosewood fretboard is characterized by a warm, resonant tone quality. The density and structure of rosewood help the string vibrations to be transmitted efficiently, resulting in a balanced sound spectrum with emphasized lows, clear mids and silky highs.
Quilted Maple wood is characterized by its striking pattern of wavy or "quilted" features, giving the instrument a unique and luxurious look. This type of wood is often chosen for its natural beauty and exclusivity. Aside from the visual appeal, the Quilted Maple blanket also offers tonal benefits. The wood often has a bright and clear tonal quality, which particularly emphasizes the overtones.
