After playing the same guitar for years, the guitar adapts to the guitarist's playing style. It takes time for a new guitar to adapt to your own way of playing. Stress found between parts like finish, woods, body, neck, fingerboard, nut, bridge, etc., must be released before all of the parts can resonate together as an instrument. It takes time and a lot of playing for this to happen.Using IRA technology, stresses like those between the finish and wood are release by applying specific vibrations to the completed guitars. Once this treatment is complete, the guitar responds accurately to the guitarist's performance, and produces sound more easily. It also shortens the time needed for the guitar to adapt to your playing style. And it delivers excellent sustain.Features:Light Ash Gloss Body25.5 Scale Bolt-On Maple Neck w/ Maple FingerboardSeymour Duncan STHR-1b Bridge Seymour Duncan SH-1n Zeb Rev Neck Pickups6-Saddle Hardtail BridgeGotoh SD91-05M-L Tun
