Detail 01
27-inch scale length
The extended scale is described for handling the extreme low tunings used by Josh Smith.

Independent shopping perspective
Josh Smith’s seven-string Soloist pairs a 27-inch scale with an EverTune F7 bridge for low-tuned work that stays intonated across the neck. The HS Bare Knuckle Impulse set places a humbucker at the bridge and a single-coil at the neck, selected with a three-way blade switch and controlled by separate volumes. Touring-oriented details include glow-in-the-dark side dots, a heel-mounted truss-rod adjustment wheel, locking tuners, strap locks, and an included Jackson foam-core hardshell gig bag.
