Panico Guitars AS Hollowbody Series AS559T Handcrafted Electric Guitar

Body:

The mahogany used to build this instrument was carefully selected from the finest woods, ensuring a warm, deep sound as well as incredible aesthetics.

The hollowbody with its large soundhole delivers unique dynamism and warmth, amplifying every subtle vibration of your sound.
The entirely hollow interior of the instrument is meticulously designed to amplify, define, and soften your sound.

Neck:

The neck is made of mahogany, while the fingerboard is made of Santos rosewood, embellished with our own tree-of-life inlays. The neck profile is based on a revised modern C to increase comfort even at the highest frets, ensuring exceptional playability, both for the most complex chords and the fastest scales. The internal carbon fiber reinforcement, combined with the double-action truss rod, increases stability and durability. The 12″ radius and 24.75″ scale length offer an ideal balance between comfort and performance, while the jumbo nickel silver frets ensure a smooth and precise feel under the fingers.

Pickups and Electronics:

The beating heart of the AS Series is its custom, handcrafted pickups. These pickups are designed to offer an extremely versatile tonal range, from crystal-clear, clean sounds—ideal for bright clean tones and blues-rock—to warm, full-bodied distortion, perfect for adding even more warmth to the instrument. Imagine being able to go from jazzy to blues-rock all in one instrument. The 3-way selector switch, along with the volume and tone controls, allows you to shape your sound with maximum precision.

You can also fully enjoy its versatility by splitting the humbuckers into single coils using the Push-Pull tone for twice the sonic possibilities.

It features a newly developed microswitch, the VELVET TONE SWITCH, which controls the equalization.
This switch works in perfect symbiosis with the tone knob, giving you total control over the most subtle and dynamic nuances. The result? An incredibly warm, smooth, and enveloping sound… like velvet.

Hardware:

The Duesenberg Les Trem II tremolo bridge provides a unique smoothness at the arm for smooth, sensual vibrato. The Gotoh locking tuners are synonymous with quality and reliability. The D’Addario 9-46 EXL125 strings, with their balanced tension, offer a comfortable feel and ease of use.

Finish:

The instrument’s finish is entirely glossy in a magnificent karry burst color that highlights every minute grain and reflection of the carefully selected wood. Impossible to miss.

In conclusion

The Panico Guitars AS Series is much more than just an electric guitar. It’s a handcrafted instrument, crafted with passion, professionalism, and attention to detail, incorporating innovation and meticulous design, unparalleled refinement, and an elegant, unique design. It’s the perfect choice for guitarists seeking a warm, reliable instrument that can best express their musical creativity.
