Gopherwood S Classic V – Lavender

BEYOND THE CLASSIC

The Blueprint of Every Legend

S classic V 2nd Generation — The coexistence of vintage aesthetics and modern playability, faithfully tracing the blueprint of the original legend.

Crafted with a climate-resistant roasted maple neck, high-durability stainless steel frets, and precision-voiced custom pickups. We have selected and integrated only the core performance elements that professionals can depend on night after night.

BALANCED RESONANCE
ALDER BODY

The Standard of Pure Sound Balance

Built upon a solid foundation of time-tested Alder tonewood. It offers a flat, balanced response across all frequencies, faithfully translating the player’s nuanced dynamics without favoring any single register.

• Balanced Midrange: Densely textured mid-range with an unmistakable sonic presence.
• Superb Versatility: Seamless blend of crisp highs and smooth lows, perfectly covering wide musical genres.

ERGONOMIC DESIGN
ST-TYPE SHAPE

Sculpted Silhouettes for Effortless Action

Engineered for maximum physical integration with the player, dramatically reducing muscle fatigue during extended tracking sessions or live sets. Meticulously contoured edges provide a reliable, stable performance base.

• Double Cutaway: Grants unhindered access to the highest frets for advanced technical work.
• Body Contours & Armrest: Smoothly carved touchpoints ensure a plush, organic resting position.

STABILITY & PLAYABILITY
ROASTED MAPLE NECK

Light Roasted Maple Neck

Undergoing severe high-temperature kiln treatment, the Light Roasted Maple neck material achieves bulletproof structural integrity alongside a vintage broken-in feel. Stabilized cell structures ward off warping from sudden humidity and temperature shifts.

• Enhanced Durability: Inhibits structural neck drift, yielding crisp string attack and immediate response.
• Ergonomic Grip: A tailored Slim-C profile meets a non-sticky satin finish for slick, effortless navigation.

STAINLESS STEEL FRETS
304CU

Elevated Longevity and Silky Bends

Equipped with premium 304CU stainless steel frets boasting far superior hardness than conventional nickel silver. They strongly resist wear to lock in an immaculate fret profile over decades of heavy playing, while their glassy surface makes vibratos feel butter-smooth.

• Superior Wear Resistance: Negligible wear keeps fret crowns uniform, extending maintenance intervals.
• Fluid Playability: Low surface friction enables frictionless string bending and expressive vibrato.
• Corrosion Prevention: Repels oxidation caused by moisture and sweat to maintain absolute cleanliness.

GOPHERWOOD GW5
CUSTOM PICKUPS

Acoustically Calibrated for Roasted Timbers

To perfectly complement the fast, bright high-end response of a roasted maple neck, the custom GW5 pickups are explicitly voiced with a “Fat” midrange core. This delicate correction based on specific wood frequency response ensures a lush, fully integrated spectrum.

• GW5VS Single-Coil (Neck & Middle): Vintage core with reinforced midrange density for warm, punchy, and thick tones.
• GW5MH Humbucking (Bridge): High-output and modern punch that retains articulate note definition even under punishing high-gain drive.

PRECISION CONTROL SYSTEM
ELECTRONICS

Micro-Shaping with Intuitively Placed Interfaces

Loaded with high-spec 500K potentiometers to yield a wider variance sweep. By matching specific, custom-tailored curves (tapers) onto volume and tone controls, players can make minute adjustments on the fly without steep, sudden drop-offs.

• A-type Volume (Audio Taper): Logarithmic sweep for natural volume roll-offs and liquid volume swells.
• B-type Tone (Linear Taper): Responds linearly to knob increments for surgical tone-shaping control.
• 5-Way Selector: Easily switch between 5 distinct, practical pickup layouts.
• Coil-Split Toggle: Splits the bridge humbucker down to a pure single-coil instantly, expanding genre reach.

MODERN VINTAGE BALANCE
SOUND CHARACTER

Luminous Resolution Meets Rooted Tonal Equanimity

Experience a sublime acoustic marriage between the lightning-quick response of roasted maple and the high-density output of custom pickups. This non-biased sonic footprint serves as an unfailing, reliable sonic base across various musical arenas.

• Defined Clarity: The interaction between heat-aged timber and the alder body carves out distinct string definition and crystalline overtones.
• Compensated Warmth: GW5 custom fat-voicing rounds off sharp, brittle frequencies for a warm, muscular tone.
• Versatile Response: Spans from glassy, intricate single-coil chime to the roaring authority of a humbucker.

STABLE & QUICK CHANGE
LOCKING TUNERS

An Efficient Solution to Maximize Playing Time

Premium locking tuning machines eliminate the tedious chore of multi-wrap restringing. By clamping each string mechanically at the post, they completely remove post slack, meaning your guitar stays perfectly in pitch even through violent playing.

• High Stability: Secures strings mechanically inside the post to safeguard stable tuning.
• Fast Replacement: Simply slip through, lock down, and tune up without excessive wind cycles.
• Minimal Windings: Minimizes overlapping wraps on the post, completely removing slack-induced tuning drift.

PRECISE RESPONSE
2-POINT TREMOLO BRIDGE

Fluid Vibrato Control and Pinpoint Zero-Point Return

Pivoting smoothly on twin studs, this 2-point tremolo setup offers a vastly slicker arm action than traditional, high-friction vintage 6-screw bridges. Fine-tuned tolerances afford superb pitch return after wild dives.

• 2-Point Pivot: Reduced friction design translates to a velvet-smooth arm sweep and heightened pitch stability.
• Individual Adjustment: Fine-tune each saddle height completely independently for a personalized action setup.
• Durable Design: Finished in hard-wearing chrome with smooth, ergonomic block saddles for low friction and simple cleaning.

RESONANT DETAILS
NUT & TRUSS ROD HOLE

Detail-Driven Engineering for Uninhibited Resonance

The nut is crafted from high-density natural bone, maximizing raw vibrational transfer for authentic chime and long sustain. The headstock-adjust truss rod hole is lined with a heavy-duty cap to prevent wood wear from Allen wrenches during setups.

• Bone Nut: Denser natural bone beats out synthetic composites, yielding crisper string definition and longer sustain decay.
• Reinforced Truss Rod Hole: A tough cap shields the surrounding timber from cracks or chips during setup adjustments.
• Optimized Slotting: Precision-cut slots guide strings smoothly, preserving true intonation and eliminating string binding.
