HIGHLIGHTS:
Solid Alder Body with Bolt-On Maple Neck
The Jack Antonoff Signature CVT features a solid alder body with a 25.5” scale bolt-on maple neck, a combination that provides excellent note attack and a bright, clear tonal response. The satin finished “C” shaped maple neck features a genuine bone nut and is topped with a rosewood fingerboard for a smooth, comfortable feel that enhances performance and provides a harmonically rich tone. The contoured neck joint further enhances playability by providing better access when playing in higher registers, making this a true player’s guitar that is well suited for a wide range of styles.
Custom-Wound FideliSonic™ Pickups
Featuring Alnico 5 magnets, the custom-wound FideliSonic™ single-coil pickups deliver a robust sound with plenty of punch and clarity. Their fat tonal response allows you to go from thick, rich overdrive to a pristine clean tone while maintaining exceptional definition and note balance.
Custom Control Layout
To harness the power of the FideliSonic™ pickups, the Jack Antonoff Signature CVT features a custom control layout consisting of a master volume, master tone, rhythm/lead switch with thumbwheel controls for neck pickup volume and tone, a momentary kill switch, and a three-position pickup selector switch. This unique control set allows players the ability to easily dial in a wide range of different sounds, and to manipulate them to dramatic effect, making this an exceptionally versatile guitar that can help you discover exciting new sonic landscapes.
