V260FR-Michael Sweet

Tonally, Michael’s V260FR is wired with active Duncan Designed Blackout pickups installed to Michael’s preference with the bridge and neck pickup positions swapped. This set-neck guitar features a Floyd Rose Special tremolo bridge with heavy 34mm brass block, an ebony fingerboard with jumbo frets, and a maple neck on a mahogany body resulting in an instrument able produce all the heavy, precise tone colors expected from a guitar of this caliber. Built with the Buzz Feiten Tuning System, the V260FR-Michael Sweet intonates perfectly up and down the fretboard on this magical beast of a guitar. Grover 18:1 ratio tuning machines and D’Addario strings ensure tuning accuracy. Gig bag included.
