Designed in collaboration with metal titan Michael Keene of The Faceless, this powerhouse of a guitar has appropriately been dubbed “The Keene Machine”. With a sleek demeanor and crushing authority, it was created for uninhibited speed and grit. Perhaps its most notable feature is the integration of a GOTOH 1996T tremolo system, allowing you to raise or lower the pitch with intensity and accuracy. Another key feature is the installation of two Fishman Fluence pickups, which are complemented by a push/pull pot that allows two unique voices between the Fluences and can be expanded upon with the 5-way super switch. Aesthetically, the Alder body is finished with with a custom Keene Green Gloss. The ebony fingerboard is crafted with Vola Eye of Life inlays as well as a signature “Chaos Star” inlay on the 12th fret. If you are searching for a guitar that pushes the envelope in every capacity, look no further.
