The Illuminator LA is classic, very comfortable to hold, play and sounds incredible!

When building the Illuminator LA model we decided to use a 1-3/4” (44.4mm) Solid Light Ash body. This wood was chosen for its light weight, visual aesthetic as well as the sonic characteristics. For some this is the best sounding wood that can be used for an electric guitar. It has a very clear and open sound with a nice solid high end, deep bass tones and fantastic sustain.  

We chose US North Eastern Maple For the neck material and we used a “C” shaped profile which measures in thickness from the top of the fingerboard to the back of the neck 53/64” (21mm) at the first fret and 55/64” (22mm) at the 12^th fret. The nut width is 1-11/16” (43mm).

The fingerboard is made of Indian Rosewood with 6mm pearloid dot inlays with 22 medium jumbo high-density nickel silver frets. We also chose 19:1 Locking Die Cast machine heads to securely hold the strings and for accurate tuning.

The bridge is a Full Contact system™ FCS-1. Single steel blade bridge and individual saddle pins deliver an open, almost harp like sound with maximum tone and sustain. When all of the parts of the bridge are fastened, the bridge has the most contiguous surface to surface contact making the bridge a very effective transmitter of string vibration.

For the electronics I used a set of the Lace Holy Grail pickups for a quiet yet incredibly accurate classic single coil sound. The controls offer one master volume and the 2 tone controls for the neck and middle pickups. There is a 5-way lever switch and 3 slide switches. The 5-position lever switch allows for the following:

Position 1- Neck Pickup only

Position 2- Neck and Middle pickups on

Position 3- Middle pickups only

Position 4- Middle and bridge pickups on

Position 5- Bridge only

This is a wonderful guitar we hope you like it.
