Construction
Body
The body of this instrument is constructed of select hard-
woods chosen specifically for tonal qualities as well as for
natural beauty and weight characteristics. The carved top and
offset, asymmetrical body design offer comfort, proper
balance and maximum playing ease. Cream or black edge
binding is also added to accent the body.
Neck
The select birdseye maple neck is crafted to provide
unmatched rigidity and freedom from warpage. The
single-piece neck features a fingerboard cut from the
same piece of wood to keep the color and grain
patterns consistent. This stress-relieved lamination also
adds increased stability. Additional strength is provided
by the dual graphite reinforcement bars and an easy
access, adjustable steel torsion rod. (See
Adjust-
ments–Torsion Rod
for adjustment instructions.)
Pickups
The two Peavey humbucking pickups, custom-wound to
Edward's specifications, supply optimal output and tonal
response. A two-step wax dipping process is used to pro-
vide ultra-low noise operation and resistance to micro-
phonic feedback. The pickups are mounted directly to the
body, which further reduces feedback at high volume lev-
els and offers enhanced tonal response.
