On the Patriot Custom we start with an extra deeply carved maple top on a hand selected mahogany body. The set-in neck is tightly fit to assure maximum sustain and performance. Installed in this best-in-class body is a set of Rockfield SWC Pickups. The Rockfield SWC Pickups give the Custom a high output edge, while retaining a classic humbucker tone. To give you the full impact of these special pickups we have direct mounted the pickups and include a coil tap for each pickup. The coil taps allow you to switch each pickup from a full humbucker tone, to a single coil tone with a simple push-pull pot. An ebony fingerboard, recessed control knobs, Grover® tuners, real abalone block inlays, TonePros locking bridge and an amazing flame maple top round out a stunning feature set.
