Featuring close aperture coils loaded with Alnico V magnets and powered by a newly designed preamp, the SAX provides a vintage Strat single coil sound: bright, airy, with a rich bottom end, all with virtually noiseless operation. The Alnico V bar magnet allows for the output to remain balanced during string bends, and makes for a playability and reliability that is unrivaled. The creamy mid-range warmth and sublime blues tones are clear, strong and expressive, and allow you to reach from classic and clean, to rowdy and raunchy. Give it a try and experience why the “X” factor is exciting players all around the world.
