S‑Modern III

Quilted Maple Art Grain Top
The stunning quilted maple pattern—often found on high‑end guitars—is applied as an art‑grain process over a basswood top layer, delivering premium looks at a sensible price.
SST‑Type Poplar Body
The Super‑Strat silhouette features curved contact contours for comfort and stability. Poplar offers an alder‑like voice—balanced resonance with a lively, adaptable response for modern styles.
Compound Radius Fretboard
12‑inch radius down low for natural left‑hand posture; 16‑inch up high for fast lead work, tapping, and sweep picking—paired with 24 medium‑jumbo frets on a purpleheart board for clear midrange presence.
24 Frets · Purpleheart
Extended range with 24 frets on a 25.5″ (648 mm) scale expands your melodic options; purpleheart is a durable, resonant alternative to rosewood with focused mids.
Slim‑C Neck Profile
Well‑dried hard‑maple neck with a slim‑C profile for easy playability; a matte back finish keeps position shifts smooth and silent.
Contour Bolt‑On Neck Joint
Four‑bolt construction with a contoured heel where the left hand meets the body—higher‑fret access feels natural and unencumbered.
Alnico 5 High‑Output Humbuckers
Wide dynamic range and elevated output cover delicate phrasing to hard‑driving riffs. Use the volume to clean up or push; coil‑split positions add articulate single‑coil flavors.
Versatile Controls
Master Volume · Master Tone · 5‑way selector. Positions 2 & 4 engage coil‑split combinations for a wider palette that spans warm cleans to crisp rhythm bites.
2‑Point Tremolo Bridge
Arm‑ready 2‑point trem for expressive vibrato with stable return. Matte‑black hardware adds a bold, modern look.
