Crafted in collaboration with Darkglass Electronics, a well - known name in bass accessories, the DarkRay offers a world of sonic innovation. At its heart is a state - of - the - art 2 Band EQ preamp custom - made by Darkglass. It has three distinct modes: Clean, Alpha (distortion), and Omega (fuzz).

It has a neodymium humbucking pickup, a roasted maple neck, a sleek contoured body, 22 stainless steel frets, and the iconic 3+1 headstock design. Specifications include an Alder body with a satin finish, an Ebony fretboard with an infinity radius, a multiscale length from 24.75' (62.8 cm) to 25.5' (64.7 cm) for 6 - string guitars (25.65' (65.15 cm) for 7 - string Low B), 24 medium jumbo stainless steel frets, white dot inlays on the fretboard, Music Man® custom wound pickups (HT Humbucker at the bridge and Offset Mini Humbucker at the neck), a Music Man® custom multi - scale tremolo with a cover, 10p - 13p - 17p - 26 - 36 - 46 strings (RPS 10 Slinkys #2240), Steinberger locking gearless tuning machines, and chrome hardware finish.
Using your DarkRay electric guitar is a breeze. To start, turn on your amplifier and plug in your guitar. Use the 3 - way lever switch and the LED ring to select the mode you want: Clean for a pure sound, Alpha for distortion, or Omega for fuzz. Then, use the gain knob and blend control to adjust the tone to your liking. When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe down the strings after each use to remove sweat and dirt. You can use a soft cloth for this. Check the tuning machines regularly to make sure they're working properly. If you notice any issues with the pickups or the preamp, it's best to take it to a professional guitar technician. Also, be careful when using the tremolo to avoid damaging the bridge. And remember, keep your strings in good condition by changing them regularly, about every few months depending on how often you play.
