Rapier Saffire 12 String Electric Guitar Sunburst

Rapier Saffire 12 String Electric Guitar Sunburst. The stunning new generation Rapier SaffireÂ solid bodied 12 string electric guitar is a product design from Alan Entwistle, the UK genius guitar designer responsible for a host of successful guitar lines and accessories. The Rapier Saffire Series is based on iconic models that played a major role in the industry of British guitars, serving countless up and coming 60's British Beat groups and helped launch the careers of many guitarists in the 60's and 70's and, whilst Entwistle has successfully retained all the glorious charms and characteristics of the original Sapphire 12, significant and meticulous attention has been made within hardware upgrades, construction and playability.

Now offered in a beautiful 3-Tone Sunburst, Greenburst and Vintage White offset with chrome hardware and 3-ply, split scratchplates and black gloss headstock with redesigned Rapier decals, the new generation Saffire 12 looks stunning. For accurate intonation and tuning stability the new generation Rapier Saffire 12 now features a smooth, friction-free, precision cut 43mm GraphTech Nubone nut, Wilkinson E-Z-Lok machine heads and high spec'd roller bridge. Hardware upgrades also include a trio of Entwistle's custom wound, Astrosonic single coil pickups, constructed with 7mm alnico 5, rod magnets mounted on a steel base plate, delivering a full rich dynamic response throughout all frequencies via a 5 way selector switch and single volume and tone pot. The latter, is wired with Entwistle's own Smooth Track Tone Control circuitry, ensuring a gradual response and clarity throughout the full sweep of the tone control. It's quite apparent that Entwistle himself is a creative genius, as witnessed within the Saffire'sÂ wiring, which includes the Entwistle ATN5, a 5-way rotary switch housed on the top horn offering a wide range of additional tonal extremities, from acoustic-like qualities, mid-range boost and high-end chime and clarity for extreme tonal versatility.
