Seymour Duncan FLAT5 SH pickup configuration
The neck humbucker and bridge single-coil provide two distinct pickup voices.

Independent shopping perspective
Josh Smith’s FLATV2 pairs a Slab AZS ash body with an S-TECH roasted maple Soft V neck and rosewood fingerboard. Its custom Seymour Duncan FLAT5 set combines a neck humbucker with a bridge single-coil, covering the smooth, mid-forward neck sound and brighter bridge response described for the model. The controls are a straightforward master volume and master tone arrangement. Gotoh hardware, titanium saddles, dark-stage side markers, and the supplied Ibanez hardshell case make it equipped for stage and studio use.
