Sleek, exclusive and built for players who know—this is a guitar that unlocks a sonic fingerprint tailored to pop, 80s-inspired textures, rock anthems and contemporary worship stacks where keyboards and pads dominate the soundscape.

Design & vibe: premium looks with practical performance

The visual statement is unmistakable: an eye-catching Amethyst Shmear finish paired with a roasted birdseye maple neck and a faux-matching Ooze headstock. That combination delivers a boutique aesthetic that’s vibe-forward yet refined.
