Independent shopping perspective
The Avalanche American Ultra II Meteora is a right-handed, HH electric guitar built around two Haymaker humbuckers, a 3-position toggle and a fixed 6-saddle string-through-body hardtail bridge. Engaging its S-1 control splits the humbuckers for single-coil sounds, while the dedicated bass-cut knob adds another control for tightening the response. A select-alder sculpted body, quartersawn maple Modern D neck and maple compound-radius fingerboard shape the playing platform. Locking tuners, Luminlay side dots and a deluxe molded case round out the instrument.
