Titan is professionally made hand-made from African Mahogany heartwood. The neck as well as the fretboard is made from hard maple with rectangular insets. The headstock is "reversed", making for an interesting tuning experience and really cool look!
This guitar has a fit and finish of all Paar Engineering models - finish is multiple thin coats of lacquer. The GFS Alnico pickups provide hot and heavy sound perfect for rock. The action has been set low, keen attention is paid to the neck joint and pocket during the build, ensuring with the lowest practical action. The frets have been manually dressed to ensure there will be no cuts nor scratches as you run your hand down the fretboard chasing scales.
Controls are 2 volumes and 1 tone with a 3-way switch. Wiring used is 22 gauge which provides plenty of conductivity.
Titan does not fit in a standard V-shaped case nor does it fit in a standard rectangular case. To acquire a hardshell case, a bass guitar case would need to be purchased separately from another vendor. The critical measurements of this guitar are 46 3/4" length and 18" width at the base, widest end. A hardshell case is not included in this listing; however, a Gator gig bag, model GBEEXTREME1, can be purchased along with this guitar.
As a promotion for this guitar and for Paar Engineering, shipping on this guitar is FREE (to the continental United States of America only).
