The Stagemaster features a double-cutaway body design without pickguards, and a 24-Jumbo-fret, reverse-headstock neck with a modern 12.5" radius that's matched to the bridge and nut for optimum playability. Special care was given to improve the quality and tone of all the Stagemaster pickups, which are now all paraffin-soaked (potted) to minimize microphonics. This dual humbucking guitar has black hardware and a double-locking Floyd Rose licensed tremolo system, which takes a while to tune, but once one locks in even a lower tuning like dropped-C, the tuning does not slip.
