Stealth lines and quality lutherie !
Don't be fooled by its stealthy name, the Aire 500 Stealth's lutherie has received the utmost attention to offer guitarists an attractive, well-built instrument. The body is made from Paulownia for lightness and resonance. The sturdy, comfortable American maple neck, ergonomically 5-points screwed, is topped by a 24-fret Eko WPC+ resin fingerboard, providing comfort for your highest and most extreme solos. The HCR57 steel vibrato block features independently adjustable bridges to fine-tune the action and harmonics of each string. Its 4+2 locking tuners configuration ensures stable tuning and vibrato effects. Finally, the all-black satin matte finish is truly remarkable for its value !
A highly versatile electronics configuration !
In terms of electronics, the Aire 500 Stealth is equipped with 2 single-coil Eko “Rockbucker” pickups and a double-coil Eko “Rockbucker”. This humbucker in bridge position can be split into a single-coil pickup thanks to a second tone knob incorporating a push-pull function. The 5-position selector widens the range of tones offered by the instrument, with three positions (bass, middle and high) associated with each of the three pickups, offering clean, powerful sounds, and two intermediate positions wired in parallel for deeper, velvety tones. So you can play hard rock and metal, but its HSS configuration will also amaze you when it comes to blues or jazz.
Affordable, versatile and full of character with its satin-matte black finish, the Aire 500 Stealth is the ideal metal/hard rock instrument for starting out and practicing electric guitar with style and pleasure!
