Balaguer Guitars Archetype Select, Nightmare Burst, Ebony Fretboard, Flame Maple Top
The Archetype is our take on a double cutaway guitar which fuses elegance with modern design. We approached the shape with ergonomics and playability in mind. Built for heavier styles of music, we paired our higher output Feral humbucker set with an ash body and quartersawn maple neck construction. A flatter fingerboard radius, 24 frets, and beveled body design lends to fast yet comfortable playability. This model is meant to NOT get in your way when you need to shred, so we sculpted the back of the treble horn to allow all access to the upper register of the neck.
We design & build our own pickups. After extensive R&D and prototyping, we are excited to release the info below:
Feral Humbucker – The Feral humbucker caters to the modern metal player, at 12.5K output for the bridge humbucker, it adds additional depth and texture to the Evergreen Humbucker tone. After putting our Evergreens out there in the wild, we received some interest in a slightly hotter version, which birthed The Feral.
