■ Tortoiseshell Pickguard (TTPG) Based on the "BMS-1R" model, this model comes standard with a tortoiseshell pickguard, a classic customization. It harmonizes with the solid-color body, creating a traditional feel overall. Also noteworthy is the roasted maple neck, a first for a "BMS" model. ■3-way pickup selector: Equipped with a practical 3-way toggle switch pickup selector. Allows instant switching between "front, mix, rear" pickups. ■Medium Scale This guitar features a medium scale of 628mm, slightly shorter than the standard regular scale (648mm). As you can see just by comparing the fingerboard lengths in the image, the scale (the distance from the nut to the bridge saddle) is shorter than that of a regular guitar. The shorter scale allows for a moderate slack in the string tension, making fingering and choking smoother. This supports comfortable fingering when playing. ■About Roasted Maple NecksRoasted maple is a wood that artificially approximates a aged state by heating maple at high temperatures to volatilize the moisture and oils within the wood. Wood that has aged over time is less likely to warp or twist. When used for necks, its effects extend not only to stability but also to sound, producing a rich, natural resonance and a refined tone reminiscent of a vintage guitar that has aged over time. While this wood is typically used in high-end models, we have succeeded in bringing it to an affordable price range. *The degree of color change due to the roasting process and the grain of the maple may vary from piece to piece. *The image is a sample. Due to the nature of the product, the grain and color may vary from piece to piece.Specification Body: Hardwood Neck: Roasted Maple Fingerboard: Roasted Maple Nut: ABS Bridge: Synchronized Trem Machineheads: Rotomatic Type Fret: Nickel Silver Pickups: Original Single Coil Type Control: 1Vol, 1Tone, 3way PU Selector Scale: 628mm (24.75 inches) Width at Nut: 42.0mm Fingerboard Radius: 400R Finish: Urethane Accessories: Soft case, hex wrench, arm, warranty card
