Fully Recessed Controls: This makes guitar history, being the first set of easy to see and adjust knobs that are also flush with the guitar’s top. The new step down design in the body allows you full strum mobility without knob collision. The step down design still keeps 70% of the knob face accessible with a quick touch, for swells. The electronics are mounted to a stainless steel pickguard housed in the body for added strength. This is all built around the top of the guitar with a 0.75” step down leading to the second surface of the body’s top.
Knurled Tuning Heads: Hipshot Griplock open gear tuners, held in place with threaded inserts and hex bolts
Gotoh Tremolo: You asked for it, and here it is! Our Floyd Rose licensed GT1996T has risen in the ranks to be labeled as a better build quality than Floyd himself these days. This trem comes with a 36mm brass block.
SureClaw Spring Tensioner: Any guitarist who’s dealt with a floating trem knows the struggle of keeping the bridge level. Traditional dual-screw spring claws are outdated and awkward, which is why Schaller’s spring tensioner is a true game-changer. It lets you fine-tune spring tension with the same Allen key used for the rest of the guitar—no need to remove the backplate, just adjust through a small access hole. Simple, fast, and precise.
Interchangeable Strap Buttons: This XL 0.85” strap button is great if you prefer to keep your strap on, otherwise you can switch this bolt for our standard size strap button. Each instrument comes with sets of both and rubber gasket strap locks!
Easy Eject 9v Battery
Extended Sustain Headstocks: Our 6S-GTO uses a 1/4” TUSQ nut, along with a zero fret for precision seating of the strings. The thick logo plate on the headstocks adds mass to allow extra sustain and resonance.
Heavy Duty Threaded Inserts : Our neck joints are rock solid thanks to skipping the screws and instead using bolts and stainless steel threaded inserts
Industrial Grade Materials: All fasteners are hex-head stainless steel bolts to prevent stripping during use. The plates, pickguard, and brackets are made from marine-grade stainless steel for maximum durability. The knurled knobs are crafted from aerospace-grade aluminum for a premium, lightweight feel.
(Trem spring cover included)
Out of This World Output Jack: The angle and placement of this output jack keeps your cable from interacting with your body, while while making it easy to see the plug in process while strapped in. The direction of the output tips upward to prevent someone from unplugging your guitar by standing on your cable.
Unparalleled Ergonomics: Using a patented fragmented body design the upper horn and arm rest wrap around your ribcage. This belly curve helps relieve the discomfort of playing for long stints
Neck Joint Slope: The whole lower horn and neck joint tapers to allow additional room for your hand on those high notes. Plus it looks pretty dang sweet
Extended Reach Cutaway: The lower horn on the 6S-GTO tips down to prevent slipping on your thigh, and makes a remarkable 5” space to reach even the 24th fret without touching the guitar body
Pelican VAULT Tactical Guitar Case: All our guitars are made with immense care and detail, and it seemed only logical to find the most durable travel case to keep them in pristine condition. Our tactical cases have a handle at center and top of the case. Built in caster wheels to role along, dense cushion foam that fits like a glove, several locations for locks/ zip-ties if you travel with it, and a long lasting reputation for quality builds that Pelican Cases has earned
Carbon Fiber Stiffening Rods: Along with our double action truss rod we stiffen our necks with carbon fiber rods.
Additional Options: During the checkout process you will get to choose from our customizable options, such as paint color, fretboard design, electronics, etc. You can see examples of these in our Options Page
BUT If you have an idea for features not listed in the standard custom options then choose the option for a Custom Build and work directly with the lead luthier on a unique guitar/ bass.
*This includes switching the tremolo system for a hard tail option.
