and aggressive red pinstripes, there is no mistaking the sonic damage you can inflict with this WMD.
Neck-Through Construction
Neck Through construction is used on the WMD Warbeast because it provides the best possible sustain, resonance, comfort and
access to higher frets. Neck-through has long been considered the premium construction method for high-end guitars. This construction
starts with a long piece (or pieces) of premium North American maple. That piece runs from the tip of the headstock to the
strap button on the opposite end of the guitar. This means that the headstock, fingerboard, pickups and bridge all are mounted
to this single sound foundation. Sonically it is a difference you can hear. The neck-through construction also allows deeper
cutaways, providing comfort no bolt-on or set-neck could offer.
Rockfield Pickups - Mafia & Fat Ass
Bridge Pickups - Fat Ass
Aggressive in its own right, the Rockfield FAT ASS bridge pickup was designed for a specific group players in mind: those
with crazy, super acrobatic playing styles. The ones at the gig that make everything look so effortless and easy. As you watch
in amazement you say, "Man I need to practice" or, "That's it, man, I quit!" This pickup's custom designed bobbins house larger
pole pieces that help transfer string vibration from pulls, bends and leads so the user gets less tonal drop off, better articulation
and note definition. The Rockfield FAT ASS has a well balanced overall tone that is mean and bold with major sustain, huge
bottom end and cutting mids and highs that jump out at you. Each note is full and rings true from this pickup while you take
advantage of a look that is just plain mean and in your face.
Neck Pickups
The neck version of the Mafia pickup is just as full sounding as the bridge position, without taking away from what has already
been accomplished. Very minor modifications to the overall design and design concept of this pickup gives it punchy, bold
tone with the same aggressive characteristics as the bridge version. A tad brighter with a little less output really takes
this pickup into the smooth and warm realm of the tonal spectrum. All while maintaining that balanced bite and in your face
aggressive tone that the mafia is known for!
Flat Top
The WMD Warbeast is constructed with a flat top. The flat top styling gives a bold and pristine look to the edge of the instrument's
shape. The binding on a flat top finishes off the edge cleanly and gives a sleek and clean look to the instrument.
