Type V
Type V is a travel electric guitar designed for practice and composition in many locations. The lightweight body weighs 2.49 kilograms and allows comfortable playing while standing, sitting or leaning back on a sofa. A solid Sapeli body, a five piece maple and Sapeli neck, an ebony fretboard and stainless steel fanned frets support long sustain and clear tones. The extended range instrument has 24 frets, a headless fixed bridge and a matte black finish. The shape draws on the smooth forms of yachts and jets.
