This Type A1.7FRCAR Sustainiac+ seven-string guitar boasts stealth looks, a distinctive cutaway scoop and a remarkable feature set, making it the ultimate, precise and professional instrument suitable for both stage and studio work. The reliable Floyd Rose 1000, made of hardened steel combined with an oversized block, offers increased sustain and resonance while all tremolo springs are mechanically muted. It also features a Duncan Solar humbucker in the bridge , and a Sustainiac Stealth Pro pickup in the neck, which works both as a single coil pickup and also houses the sustain device. The Type A1.7FRCAR Sustainiac+ features a set-thru neck/body joint design with 25.5” scale, an alder body, a fast, thin, comfortable maple neck, an ebony fingerboard with 24 super-jumbo stainless steel frets and Luminlay ‘glow in the dark’ side dots for easy stage use. Loaded with Solar 18:1 locking tuners, locking nut, 3-way blade pickup switching and full access neck. Sustainiac controls: 1 on/off switch, 1 octave switch .Available in carbon black matte finish.

NOTE: The Sustainiac function is only available when using the bridge pickup. If the neck pickup is selected, when switching the Sustainiac on, it will automatically switch to the bridge pickup. 9V battery is not included.
