"Riju"

7 String Guitar W/ Floyd Rose

Sales pitch:



    Riju was designed with ultimate ergonomics as priority without sacrificing too much traditional feel and looks. Triple cutaway design with convenient output jack location provides flexible playing positions.

Woods:

    The book-matched ebony top with korina body sings in the midrange while the attack feels quick but not overly bright. The flame roasted maple neck feels amazing to hold, combined with the unique spalted tamarind fretboard make for a relatively lightweight neck, which gives the guitar a perfect balance to those who like the guitar close to the body and strap worn mid to high up.


Pickups - From Fishman:

    7-String Modern Humbucker Alnico:
All the musicality, power, and explosiveness of alnico. Full chords and fluid solos, plus a voice you’ve never heard in a humbucker. Great in both positions, or commonly paired with a ceramic bridge pickup
* Voice 1 (Modern Active High Output): The ideal active alnico sound. Full, round, and boosted, but with unprecedented articulation and dynamics
* Voice 2 (Crisp, clean and fluid): The clean, crisp neck humbucker tone you’ve always wanted without the thin, plinky sound you don’t.

    7-String Modern Humbucker Ceramic:
Cutting ceramic attack. Brutal active aggression and passive punch in the same guitar. Great in both positions, or commonly paired with alnico neck
* Voice 1 (Modern Active High Output): The ideal active ceramic humbucker tone. Crisp, searing crunch, tight bass with no mud, and a growl.
* Voice 2 (Modern Passive Attack): Organic, high output, passive ceramic tone. Superb distortion characteristics with Fluence dynamics and response.

Bridge/Tremolo - From Gotoh:

    The Gotoh GE1996T is the best of the high end licensed Floyd Rose tremolo models. Made with premium components…hardened steel baseplate, specially processed steel saddles, and machined brass trem block. Saddles are nicely rounded without any sharp edges.
