Artist grade flame maple, select stock held to elevated standards for figure depth and consistency, finished in Faded Indigo so the flame moves and shifts beneath a deep, polished coat. Underneath, a warm mahogany back adds resonance and sustain along with the focused midrange and natural warmth mahogany is prized for in semi-hollow builds. Together the two woods deliver a balance that sings through the humbucking voices and stays clear and articulate in the single-coil positions. Smoked black hardware throughout, including the Gen III tremolo, Phase III tuners, and controls, sets a modern, refined contrast against the finish for a look that belongs on a stage.
The chambered body lets every note breathe with a lively, three-dimensional quality, adding harmonic complexity and sustain while holding onto the focused response and feedback resistance working players rely on.
Twenty-four frets on a 25″ scale bring the extended upper-register range players want in the scale length Custom owners already know. DMO treble and bass pickups run through volume, tone, and a 5-way blade switch, opening a spectrum that stretches from full humbucker warmth to crisp single-coil texture, equally at home on stage or in the studio.
