The Greek hero Achilles is one of the most famous figures in Greek myth, well known for his infamous anger and his art of fighting.
Like the hero which bears its name the Achilles guitar is the perfect war machine.
A huge solid body, great and deep sound due to the single cut design and an ergonomic design.
The Achilles Era was born to be a rock solid instrument, and to look like one, a 5 string war machine at the service of every metal bass player out there.
It features an ash body, flamed maple neck with wenge stripes and carbon reinforcements, richlite fretboard with stainless steel frets, handmade pickups and proprietary headless tuning system.
But what really catches the eye is the aesthetic of this instrument. A top made of slate stone and dark anthracite color throughout the instrument, the real reasons why you should carry this instrument around with you.
As with other models in our catalog, the multiscale fingerboard is a feature we cannot do without, because it guarantees stable tension on the lower strings while maintaining playability on the higher ones, especially when the tuning goes very low.
