Features
Set-Neck Construction
A set-neck means the neck is glued into the body of the guitar rather than bolted on. This results in a smoother transition between the neck and body, enhancing sustain and tonal warmth. It’s a construction style often found on high-end guitars like Gibsons.
Curved Mahogany Body with Solid Maple Top (15-17mm / 0.59-0.67 inches)
Mahogany body provides a warm, rich tone with excellent sustain. It’s a classic wood choice for electric guitars, known for its resonance.
The solid maple top adds some brightness and clarity to the overall sound, balancing the warmth of the mahogany. The 15-17mm thickness is a standard range for solid maple tops.
Mahogany Neck & Rosewood Fretboard
Mahogany neck offers a smooth, comfortable playing experience with a warm tone.
The Rosewood fretboard is known for a smooth playing surface and a warm, mellow tone that suits a wide range of musical styles.
Rosewood is a common choice for fretboards because it has a natural oiliness that improves with age and use, helping with tone and playability.
22 Frets
22 frets is typical for many electric guitars. It provides a solid upper register for solos and lead parts without getting overly cramped.
Electronics - 2V, 2T, 3-Way Toggle
2V (Volume) and 2T (Tone) knobs give you full control over the output and tone of your guitar. The 3-way toggle switch allows you to select between your neck pickup, bridge pickup, or both for a range of tonal options.
H-H (Humbucker-Humbucker) Pickups
Humbucker pickups are known for their full, thick sound and reduced hum/noise, making them great for high-gain setups, rock, metal, or any genre where a powerful tone is desired.
The two humbuckers will provide a versatile sound, with a smooth, beefy tone from the neck pickup and a sharper, punchier tone from the bridge pickup.
Tune-O-Matic Bridge
A Tune-O-Matic bridge is a highly regarded bridge type known for its stability, sustain, and ease of tuning. It’s a common feature on Gibson-style guitars and is ideal for maintaining accurate intonation.
Stainless Steel Strings
Stainless steel strings are durable, resistant to corrosion, and provide a bright, sharp sound. They also last longer than regular nickel-plated strings and have a smooth feel under the fingers.
Ivory Pickguard:
The ivory coloured pickguard serves both aesthetic and functional purposes, protecting the body from pick scratches and contributing to the overall look of the guitar. It’s a classic style that gives the guitar a clean, vintage appearance.
Chrome Hardware:
Chrome hardware (tuners, bridge, tailpiece, etc.) offers durability and a sleek, polished look. It also adds to the overall tone by being more reflective and maintaining tuning stability.
Scale Length (628mm / 24.75 inches)
The 24.75" scale length is a classic size found on guitars like the Gibson Les Paul. It provides a slightly shorter distance between the bridge and the nut, which results in a smoother feel for bending notes and a warmer tone.
Solder-Free Assembly
The best part about this kit is that it's solderless. This means you won’t need to do any soldering for the electronics. The wiring system uses connectors, making it easier to assemble without the risk of making a soldering mistake. You can simply plug everything into place, which speeds up the building process and ensures everything is set up cleanly.
