Question: What’s hotter than Manic Red? Answer: A Manic Red HS Strat with hot Seymour Duncan pickups. ‘Ruby’ is a hot tribute to Fender’s ‘new’ series of Stratocasters. But she has a few additional tricks up her sleeve. And at Custom Scorpion Guitars our Player Series guitars are hand built and hand wired from parts especially selected for their sound, quality, and value. These include new parts sourced from Fender, Musiclily, Bourns, Oak Grigsby, Pure Tone, and other top manufacturers. Player Series For The Serious Musician With a solid aged basswood body, Ruby features a classic Vintage Style bridge and smooth Seymour Duncan Alinco 5 pickups. They are backed up by a heavy-duty Fender 3-way switch and specially designed electronics. These include smooth volume and dual tone pots, plus a special Push-Pull control. This switches the bridge pickup into coil splitting mode. Depending on the switch and tone positions, nearly limitless sound and tone choices are available. But Ruby’s quality and features don’t stop there. Her custom-cut black maple neck is smooth and fast, with a low action rosewood fretboard and a bone nut. Slinky D’Addario 10s strings are anchored to a classic tremolo bridge. At the other end, locking tuners and smooth roller string guides let you bend notes all night long while staying in perfect tune. Ruby is a great choice for serious musicians, a super addition to your guitar arsenal, a terrific busking companion, and is the perfect guitar for the studio or weekend guitar hero.
