Details
The Step Sister is the mean girl in the family. She shares the same genes as the Little Sister in terms of design, and she is built using the traditional techniques of the Golden Era of electric lutherie. But the Step Sister has her own unique personality. The body shape is shortened, to join the neck at the 16th fret, and the fingerboard extends to 22 frets. The neck heel has been reshaped, for the easiest access up to the last fret. A nimble, agile, sleek machine. Developed for ease of playability, the Step Sister offers a wide range of options.
Because of the extended length of the fingerboard, the neck pickup is placed slightly closer to the bridge than on a Little Sister. Therefore it delivers a brighter and more defined tone by itself, and a beautiful ‘hollow' quality when paired with the bridge pickup. This model features hum-cancelling Kikbuckers, a solid headstock with Waverly tuners, nickel-plated brass hardware, and a mysteriously dark Black Widow gloss finish. End result: one vicious rock machine.
