PRESS RELEASE
Rees Electric Guitars Introduces SS3 Electric Guitar
November 30, 2007
Advertisement The SS3 has an HSH three pickup heavy-weight long-sustain sound, from a resonant light-weight body. This is achieved by the use of selected hard tone-woods and finely hand applied guitar lacquer. Vibrato bridge action and fixed bridge action are available in the same guitar. An original designed body features a thin carbon fibre reinforced neck joint, offering better access to high frets. The scratch-plate is 6mm solid figured maple, not cheap plastic, creating more musical resonance with long sustain as well as beauty. (During development a plastic scratch-plate was tested and found detrimental to tone.) Standard pickups are Seymour Duncan: Jazz humbucker at the neck, Quarter Pounder single-coil middle pickup; JB humbucker at the bridge. Alternative pickup combinations are available to order. A push-pull switch on the tone control selects the whole guitar for humbucker or single-coil voices. The 5-way pickup selection switch provides 5 different humbucker sounds in order from neck to bridge by selecting various coil combinations, or selects 5 single-coil sounds in the industry standard way. The Kahler Hybrid bridge provides vibrato action with a heavy solid and stable mechanism. The same bridge can be locked by turning an Allen key when the vibrato action is not required. This turns it into a fixed bridge guitar.
