Rapier RAE6BK
With this wide spacing, the Escort delivers superb isolation when switching
between the natural hard-edged attack from the bridge pickup to the warm flutey
sonics of the neck unit and, with both combined via a 3 way selector switch, the
Rapier Escort emphasises strong mid-frequencies and pronounced separation
with outstanding sonic versatility, for a rich tonal spectrum that’s ideal for a host
of musical styles from country to blues, pop and rock.
Impressive tonewood and hardware specifications include an okoume body,
bolt-on maple neck, 22 fret rosewood fingerboard, Wilkinson E-Z Lok machine
heads, Graphtech nut, roller bridge and a redesigned, super-smooth operating
Hi-Lo Resonance long-plate vibrato system.
