Masterful, balanced tone

• If you know Dream Theater, then you understand just how diverse their music can be. Fortunately, this signature axe was engineered with versatility in mind. The nyatoh body anchors the tonal range with a solid, well-rounded profile and harmonic-rich mids. The hard maple neck imbues the tone with fantastic note separation, keeping each register tight and articulate. A rosewood fingerboard is situated on top, serving a balanced array of crisp highs and distinctive, warm lows, finishing with a shimmering veneer. Altogether, these tonewoods deliver a balanced sonic profile with a hearty midrange, tight, warm lows, and sonorous, crystal-clear highs.

Dynamic, responsive sound

• To bring these sonics to life, no expense was spared by the good folks at Sterling. House-designed humbucking pickups are loaded into both the bridge and neck positions, ensuring plenty of dynamic range for searing solos, lavish leads, roaring rhythms, and anything else you can sonically conjure. A straightforward layout pairs a 3-way selector with dedicated control knobs for volume and tone, respectively. You’ll be getting substantial sustain and stylistic range, letting you fine-tune your sound to your heart’s content!

Engineered for maximum personality

• Beyond imparting wonderful sonic characteristics to your sound, the hard maple neck is both lightweight and rigid, blending comfortable in-hand feel with easy maneuvering. Plus, it’s highly resistant to twisting and warping, making it a great choice for gigging musicians and those on the road. A 5-bolt pattern secures the neck for an optimal balance of tone and structural security, minus the bulk. The sleek profile is complemented by a 16-inch fingerboard radius that begs to be tested. Locking tuners are a must when you’ve got the modern tremolo bookending the other side of a 25.5-inch scale, with 24 medium jumbo frets providing all the room you could need for maximum expression. When all the shredding is said and done, you’ll be thankful for the 1.69-inch nut that keeps your tones consistently buzz-free.
