A hyper-aggressive axe!
Features a nato mahogany body with maple neck-through construction. With cutting scalloped lines, vertebrae
inlay, a twin rail pickup in the neck and a HOT Rockfield Fat Ass pickup in the bridge the Draco looks and sounds just plain
mean.
Neck-Through Construction
Neck-Through construction is used on the Draco V 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 - Fat Ass and Twin Rail
Bridge Pickup - 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 Pickup
Great pickup for Bridge or neck but designed to complement the Fat Ass bridge pickup in the neck position. This twin rail
pickup, like the bridge position Fat Ass has a full round tone that helps transfer string vibration from pulls, bends and
leads so the user gets less tonal drop off and better articulation and note definition. This is made possible by the custom
designed bobbins that house the larger pole pieces. Custom wound with a little less bite but still just as aggressive, this
pickup has great balance and sustain with a huge low end response and mids and highs that scream and cut for a tone that is
truly inspiring.
Flat Top
The Draco V 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.
