These guitars offer exceptional playability and versatility. They are equipped with a roasted maple neck, Solar locking tuners, and a Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo. The roasted maple neck provides a stable and resonant platform, while the locking tuners and tremolo system ensure accurate tuning and expressive playing. “We’ve been talking about doing distressed finishes for a while. But when I saw and played what the team in Spain had achieved, I was blown away. We immediately decided to put these guitars into production.” - Ola Englund
