Brian Headin's signature guitar is a serious contender for modern players wanting a 7-string with a unique look and incredible versatility. The Fluence pickups really shine, covering everything from clean jazz tones to aggressive metal riffs, and the Evertune bridge is a game-changer for keeping things in tune. This is ideal for players who demand high performance and a distinctive visual style.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Evertune is a fixed bridge, so it offers more direct transfer of string vibration to the body, resulting in a tighter, more responsive feel without any tremolo 'floppiness'.
The push/pull tone control allows for some tonal shaping, but full coil-splitting isn't natively supported; modifications would require internal wiring changes.
Yes, Makassar ebony, like all ebony, can dry out over time; regular conditioning with a quality fretboard oil is recommended to maintain playability and prevent cracking.
