An ash body recognized for decades for its sound qualities. A wood that brings power and dynamics to the instrument. A neck in vintage varnished maple, a maple fingerboard for more brilliance and edge.
ALNICO V pickups, and a set of nickel-coated SAVAREZ 9-46 strings for an exceptional result in this price range.

ALNICO V pickups are made with an aluminium-nickel-cobalt alloy, which offers several advantages:

• Lower magnetic field than a ceramic pickup, for optimum string vibration giving more sustain.
• Unlike ceramic pickups, ALNICO pickups contain 6 separate magnets. This allows the perfect configuration for each string during manufacture, thus achieving better balance.
• The aluminium-nickel-cobalt alloy is also ideal for a palette of warm, full, precise sounds.
• Finally, the TC80MA ASH has a pickup configuration consisting of two single coils, in the perfect tradition for faultless versatility.
