About Messiah
We made Messiah to be your best selection for alternative lower tunings. It is modern, aggressive and powerful. Messiah is made for metal and Djent. It is a multiscale design that will fit best into your favorite lower tuned riffs but will perform great with standard E tuning as well. We have encountered multi-scale guitars that, due to their extreme designing perception, have lost their technical playing character. Messiah retains the soloist and shred machine characteristics. You can do sweeps as well as heavy and powerful chording due to its carefully designed multi-scale pattern.
Tonewoods
When it comes to lower tunings and high gain distortion we need tonewoods that cut through. The Messiah body is made of Okoume. The guitar body is thinner than our other models. We designed it to feel comfortable to play and look like a fast supercar. The neck is made of Flame Maple and the fretboard can be flame Maple or Rosewood. The tonewood combination will give you clear notes with perfect string separation. Perfect for the modern musical styles.
Pickups
Messiah features our in house designed and build pickup set. These tone machines are unique. We have managed to create a passive pickup set that can reach the high gain territory without the need to boost the front of the amp. In addition the messiah pickups can perform equally well at lead tones due to the tight and focused mid range. Maybe the best high gain pickups out there !
Hardware
Messiah features six individual Hipshot bridges placed in the right spot to give you room for your intonation adjustments. The tuners are GOTOH locking tuners. The guitar features a two-way truss rod accessible from the headstock area. The frets are stainless steel and are high enough to provide that easy and smooth string bends you desire when shredding.
Tunings
There are endless tunings that you could end up with using multiscale guitars. Messiah is optimized for use with 7 specific tunings. To make it easy, we provide the string gauges that you should use on each tuning, to maintaining the feel of the classic .10-.46 gauge string set, placed on a 25.5" scale guitar on Standard E tuning. It is a good and safe place to start with.
