Turbulence 729-R
The next generation of our cutting edge Turbulence model captures our thoughts on extending conventional instrument’s limited range. Built around 7 strings and 29 frets platform, the 729-R sports tonal qualities of a warm sounding mahogany body and stability of a 5pc laminated maple/walnut set neck construction. Bound ebony fingerboard is decorated with a true Mother of Pearl 12th fret “North Star” inlay and it features scalloped 19-29 section. Two GKG wound 7 string humbuckers are wired through independent VCS controls (variable coil splitting) offering unique combinations of fine tuned pickup values. Recessed Floyd Rose 7 and ergonomic shape of the Turbulence body provide for shredding experience of a lifetime. If detuned to an F#, the 729-R will cover a full range of a regular 8-string 24-fret instrument.
The 729-R concept may not be for everyone but if you believe that your chops are ready to be ported to a different dimension, the 729-R was created for you.
