- • Expression System 2 pickup offers a remarkably natural amplified tone, capturing the guitar's nuances.
- • Neo-tropical mahogany neck provides stability and a smooth, comfortable playing feel for extended sessions.
- • The limited run of 25 pieces makes acquisition extremely difficult and potentially frustrating.
