Custom Style / Green Pepper Plywood
New specifications for 2020
This model adopts Plywood Maple as the top and back wood of the body as a new sound option of Green Pepper.
Green Pepper is the only model in the Pepper series that adopts a middle position center block structure that does not make the center block adhere to the top and back materials in the body structure.
And the normal Green Pepper's top and back wood is made of zebra wood, creating a warm and rich tone.
The maple plywood, which creates a solid attack sound and a high sound separation used in guitars such as the 335 and 175, can be newly selected as the material of the top and back wood of the body.
・ Moderate compression and powerful sustain for easy control of sound output from the amplifier
・ Sound tight directionality with a strong sound in masking in band ensemble
・ This specification, which appeals to session players, does not choose a music genre such as rock, pop, jazz, fusion, and blues.
・ In all Pepper series, 2HB pickup layout and 4 control specifications can be newly selected.
