Stealth lines and quality lutherie !
Don't be fooled by its stealthy name, the Fire 500 Stealth's lutherie has received the utmost attention to offer guitarists an attractive, well-built instrument. The body is made from Paulownia for lightness and resonance. The sturdy, comfortable American maple neck, ergonomically screwed at 5 points, is topped by a 22-fret Eko WPC+ resin fingerboard, with a 628 mm scale, for added playing comfort. The Eko Steel bridge features independently adjustable bridges to fine-tune the action and harmonics of each string. Its locking tuners in 4+2 configuration ensures tuning and note stability. Finally, the all-black satin matte finish is truly remarkable for its value for money!
A highly versatile electronics configuration!
In terms of electronics, the Fire 500 Stealth is equipped with 2 dual-coil pickups. These two humbuckers in bridge and neck position can both be split into single-coil, thanks to the push-pull tone knob. The 3-position selector widens the range of tones offered by the instrument, with three positions associated with each of the two pickups, offering clean, powerful sounds, and an intermediate position wired in parallel for deeper, velvety tones. So you can play hard rock and metal, but its splittable HH configuration will also amaze you with blues or jazz.
Affordable, versatile and full of character with its satin-matte black finish, the Fire 500 Stealth is the ideal metal/hard rock instrument for starting out and practicing electric guitar with style and pleasure!
