**Key Features:**
- **Acrylic Series 5 Body**: The body is crafted from premium acrylic with a distinctive racing stripe, providing a visually striking look.

This guitar is part of that groundbreaking pair, making it a rare and collectible instrument.
- **Aluminum Components**: The rear resonator plate and neck are made from T7075-T651 aluminum, contributing to the guitar's superior durability and sustain. The polished T6061-T651 wrought aluminum neck adds to the sleek, modern feel of the instrument.
- **RWRP Single Coils**: Equipped with twin RWRP single coils, the same used by Steve Albini in his TB500, these Alnico 5-based pickups with massive magnet substructures deliver a powerful, responsive tone.
- **Natural Gating Effect**: The metal and acrylic combination naturally gates high gain, making this guitar easy to control at high volumes—a perfect feature for live performances.
- **Red Tortoise Shell Pickguard**: Paired with a single volume, tone, and a 3-way switch for versatile tonal control.
- **Premium Hardware**: Includes PEC pots, Sprague caps, Switchcraft hardware, Thermax coax cable, Gotoh tuners, and Jescar stainless steel frets for reliable performance and durability.
