Iconic Guitars Evolution S HH in Trans Whiskey

Iconic's Evolution S model represents the next stage of the archetypal s-type guitar — hence its name! Retaining the classic body shape, the Evolution comes supercharged with a raft of modern features that promise to provide you with the ultimate playing and sonic experience. This includes a thin "C"-shaped roasted Maple neck, a flat 16" radius fingerboard, stainless steel frets, Lollar 'Imperial' humbuckers and a super-smooth Gotoh 510 tremolo.

Key Features

• 2-Piece Alder Body — Timeless tonewood choice synonymous with bolt-on electric guitars. Provides a balanced tonal foundation for the pickups, with tight lows, bold mids and singing highs.
• Roasted Flamed Maple Neck — Roasting process removes all of the natural moisture retained by the neck wood, ultimately darkening the material and making it far less vulnerable to warping when exposed to varying climates.
• Thin "C" Neck Profile — Slim, addictive shape lets you play blazing riffs and leads without hindrance!
• 16” Radius Fingerboard — Flat, contemporary radius makes fast passages feel effortless. Fingerboard enhanced with rolled edges for silky-smooth playability too!
• Stainless Steel Frets — Corrosion-resistant material is harder to wear down than conventional fret-wire, meaning decades of use!
• Lollar Imperial Pickups — Capture the airy top-end, balanced mid-range, tight lows and complex overtones of the original PAF humbuckers from the '50s.
• Schaller Megaswitch E — 5-way switch gives you access to a versatile mix or full humbucking and sparkly single-coil sounds. 1: bridge humbucker, 2: bridge inner coil, 3: outer coils parallel, 4: neck outer coil, 5: neck humbucker.
• Gotoh 510 Tremolo — Superbly-machined, 2-point bridge offers a responsive vibrato action and ensures precise return to pitch after heavy use.
• Gotoh Locking Tuners — Locking design secures strings to makes changes fast and hassle-free, with less wraps required around the tuning posts; enhancing tuning stability.
• Bone Nut — Classic, low-friction material minimises unwanted tuning slips and boosts sustain.
• Handcrafted in the USA — Built in California for the most discerning of musicians, promising "unparalleled tone and unsurpassed quality" in the company's own words.
• NAMM Exclusive Model — As one of their most exemplary instruments to date, this particular Evolution S was proudly showcased at the NAMM Show!
