HSS MINERVA

The HSS Minerva features a solid Alder body for a well-balanced and resonant tone. The 25-1/2" (64.8 cm) scale length and 10"-14" compound radius C-shaped neck allow for comfortable playability and a smooth, fast feel. The neck is available in either All Rosewood or Flamed Roasted Maple, both of which are finished with a hand-rubbed oil and wax finish for a natural, organic feel.

The neck width measures 1-5/8" (41.3 mm) at the nut and 2-1/4" (56.9 mm) at the last fret, providing ample space for chordal playing and technical leads. The spoke wheel truss rod adjustment at the neck heel allows for easy adjustments to the neck relief.

The fret markers are block inlays, adding a touch of sophistication to the guitar's overall appearance with luminlay side-dots, which provide a clear visual reference for players at all times, even in low-light conditions. The 22 high-profile, medium-width stainless steel frets offer durability and precision playability, while the Ratio Electric locking tuners ensure stable and accurate tuning.

The guitar is equipped with a HSS pickup configuration, featuring a Seymour Duncan SH-4 in the bridge position and Seymour Duncan STK-4 stacked single coils in the middle and neck position, providing noiseless performance for crystal clear sound. The pickup configuration is controlled by a 5-way lever pickup selector, 1 volume, and 1 tone knob.

Our proprietary 500 style tremolo system adds expressive vibrato effects to the guitar's sound, while the electronic shielding with a graphite acrylic resin-coated body cavity and aluminum lining minimizes unwanted noise and interference.

This guitar comes with D'Addario 10-46 strings, a popular gauge that balances playability and tone, making it suitable for various styles of playing.

Overall, this guitar is a versatile and well-crafted instrument that offers a balanced, dynamic, and expressive playing experience for players of various styles and skill levels, with the added bonus of noiseless single-coil pickups for clear and quiet sound.
