Introducing Feather’s Strix Signature edition line. This line will feature custom designs, as well as one-off homage/throwback builds. This first off the bench is an homage too guitar legend Slash, of Guns N’ Roses. Mixing an angular 80’s style body that riffs off the Mockingbird offset approach that is light and balanced, with the eponymous Slash Seymour Duncan humbuckers designed to emulate the Les Paul sounds from Appetite for Destruction with all the “familiar sustain, crunch, and midrange” (Seymour Duncan Website). The woods include a rich mahogany body and neck, paired with a 22-maple fretboard to bring great attack and responsiveness to the tone. Speaking of which, the tone is exactly what you’d want with the right amount of mids to cut the mix when set-up on a flat EQ (as Slash was known for bucking the scooped-mid trend of the time), but enough balance to provide wider versatile on demand with slight adjustments to EQ. With a cranked amp about all you need is a little reverb with this guitar, but it is responsive and friendly to pedals as well.
The Grover locking tuners, black TUSQ nut, and Gotoh tune-o-matic style bridge bring impeccable quality and style to every part that touches the strings. Add a Crimson Burst burst finish over the maple body for the right balance of flare and you know that this axe can ‘Slash’ through the ‘Jungle’ any time it is welcomed!
