The PRODIPE GUITARS ST80MA series follows the greatest tradition of SOLID BODY guitar manufacture.

The best craftsmen for an unmatched result:

a good density basswood body, a neck in vintage varnished maple, a maple fingerboard for more brilliance and edge. We have also chosen to fit ALNICO V pickups, and a set of nickel-coated D'ADDARIO 9-42 strings for an exceptional result in this price range.

ALNICO V pickups are made with an aluminium-nickel-cobalt alloy, which offers several advantages :

• Lower magnetic field than a ceramic pickup, for optimum string vibration giving more sustain.
• Unlike ceramic pickups, ALNICO pickups contain 6 separate magnets. This allows us to choose the perfect configuration for each string during manufacture, thus achieving better balance.
• The aluminium-nickel-cobalt alloy is also ideal for a palette of warm, full, precise sounds.

Finally, the ST80MA/RA range has a pickup configuration consisting of three single coils, in the perfect tradition for faultless versatility.
