Description
Hex Sting D300
In order to maximize the resonation of the Sting series’ solid wood sound table, careful attention is given to its most meticulous details. From the woofer line to the bold sound and thinly applied light matte finish, both the sound and aesthetics of this instrument have been thoroughly considered in its design.
Soft Lows and Crisp Highs
Balanced tone, clear resonance and bright sound are characteristic of solid sitka spruce, and to this the sapele adds a smooth yet bold mid-range.
Woofer Line
The Woofer Line along the inside edge of the top wood helps to further deepen the central area around the groove. It is the similar effect as woofer loudspeakers, which makes the presence of bass sound one step clear.
Natural Woodworking
Vacuum pressing & natural wood drying combined technology gives you a more solid sound. After the glue penetrates the pores of the wood sufficiently, it is bonded by slowly applying pressure to increase vibration and durability.
? Although heat-drying and hot-press methods expedite the building process, they cause the adhesives to harden, interfering with the wood’s natural resonant qualities.
Sturdy Without Deformation
The Indonesian mahogany neck is built of three-stage drying to minimize deformation. It has a standard-C type profile with players prefer.
Three Stages of Drying
The wood is dried by natural, thermal and high frequency vacuum drying. In the case of high-frequency vacuum drying, moisture is removed from the inside of the wood, so there is little splitting or distortion coming from drying.
? Only carefully selected timber that is well dried and seasoned is used.
Hard and Even Frets
On rosewood fingerboard, the 160Hv frets with 30% increased hardness deliver a durable and clear sound. It also reduces the risk of the fret lifting.
Comfortable Grip
Both sides of the fingerboard are gently curved for more comfortable playing. In addition, the rounded corners give you easier to play.
Layered with Beveled Cut
The rosewood top affixed to the headstock contributes to the instrument’s aesthetic quality while helping to improve sustain, and in concert with the binding gives off a feeling of luxury. The 15:1 gear ratio die-cast head machines allow for precise tuning.
Premium Oiled Bone
The natural material, oiled bone gives clear tone, is easy to set it up and less discolored. The nut with a width of 44mm and E to E spacing of 37.2mm is optimized for both finger style and strum-based performance.
Traditional Solid Rosewood
A special cut is placed in front of the bridge-pin hole to prevent pins from protruding. It also reduces dents on the bridge by string tension. By the increased angle of strings to the saddle, it will be in tune though powerful strum.
Vibrating Structure
Just beneath the bridge on the underside of the sound board is a discreetly affixed honeycomb-shaped solid hard maple bridge plate. Because the hexagonal structure reduces weight while reinforcing the sturdiness of the instrument, it contributes to elongating the time of sustained vibration from the sound board. Additionally, this unique bridge plate assists in balancing the whole sound of the instrument, maintaining it’s tonal character.
Premium Grade Details
It is decorated with a white pearl rosette and multiple body bindings. Transparent pickguard is enclosed, and the D’Addario® EXP16 coated strings are installed.
Thin and Light
Thin finished body will give you a more enriched sound. Electrostatic painting is sprayed thinly and evenly on the surface of the guitar, and the final matte finish has been applied neatly by master builder’s hand spray.
No Compromise
It is equipped with a Fishman® Sonitone no-cut preamplifier and pickup set. Easy to replace a pickup set attached to the bottom of the top wood without machining the side of the body.
