Personal Reflection
This Blue Fade Wrap Custom 24 from the Wood Library series is as visually captivating as it is sonically versatile. The Artist-grade Maple top showcases a beautifully intricate grain that’s enhanced by the Blue Fade finish, which transitions seamlessly across the body. The maple neck and fingerboard not only provide a sleek aesthetic but also add a bright, snappy tone that complements the deep resonance of the mahogany body. Ben remarked that the 85/15 humbuckers deliver “amazing clarity and sustain,” and he loves how the Gen III tremolo stays stable even with heavy use. He described this guitar as “an absolute standout” in both looks and playability, noting that the maple neck profile makes it exceptionally comfortable for lead and rhythm work alike. This Custom 24 is perfect for players who crave tonal variety and expressive dynamics wrapped in an eye-catching package.
