Product Description
The Woodrite Switchblade is a retro-inspired masterpiece that blends the spirit of classic offset and double-cut guitars into a contemporary riff machine made for sonic mayhem! From the shimmering waves of surf to the thunderous roar of rock, grunge and metal, the Switchblade covers an enormous range of tones and textures. And it's ready for life on the road too, complete with a custom form-fitted hardshell case for serious protection on the go.
Built to riff
A Mahogany body and neck, paired with a Rosewood fingerboard, deliver a bold, resonant tonal foundation with sustain to spare. The medium "C" neck profile feels comfortable and supportive in the hands, whether you're laying down filthy rhythm parts or tearing into fuzz-soaked solos. Meanwhile, 22 jumbo stainless steel frets let you really dig in and provide outstanding durability for years of hard playing.
Woodrite Barbarian humbuckers
Designed to handle all the gain you can throw at ‘em, Woodrite's brutish Barbarian humbuckers are tight, focused and super punchy. Roll back the volume and they'll clean up surprisingly well too, giving you plenty of versatility when you need it. And with a master tone control on hand, dialling in thicker, throatier sounds couldn't be easier.
A tone chaser’s paradise
Want to get experimental? You've got a whole tone-tweaking playground at your fingertips. Two thumbwheels act as humbucker-to-single-coil blend controls, letting you dial in a unique mix of hybrid tones. There's also a kill switch for when you want to go "full Morello", dual on/off pickup switches, plus a choke switch that cuts low-end frequencies for a tighter and more focused sound.
Stage-ready stability
The Switchblade is built to take a beating. A battle-ready TonePros tune-o-matic bridge provides a rock-solid foundation for palm-muted chugs, while a tremolo arm can be fitted to the floating vibrato if you wanna get expressive with Kevin Shields-style warbles. Thanks to the bridge's roller saddles, it'll stay in tune like a champ. Rounding things off, a set of premium Grover Mini-Rotomatic tuners deliver excellent tuning stability, even under the heaviest attack.
Features
- Mahogany body & neck: Thick, resonant and loaded with sustain — all you need for crushing doom riffs, massive chords and warm cleans.
- Medium “C” neck profile: Comfortable and fast, whether you're chugging out low-end filth or sliding into melodic lead lines.
- Jumbo stainless steel frets: Built for durability while making bends, vibrato and technical passages feel effortless.
- Woodrite Barbarian humbuckers: Huge output with tight lows and growling mids. They roar with distortion but clean up nicely when you roll back the volume.
- Extensive tonal options: From humbucker and single-coil blends to kill-switch stutters and sharper, choked sounds, the Switchblade offers a huge range of sonic possibilities right at your fingertips.
- TonePros bridge with roller saddles: A TonePros bridge, roller saddles and premium Grover tuners deliver superb tuning stability and reliable performance, even when you're getting expressive with the trem arm.
- Hardshell case included: Keeps your Woodrite guitar protected on the move, perfect for rehearsals, gigs and doom-fuelled jam sessions.
