Aslin Dane Illuminator LA – Classic Feel, Modern Voice The Illuminator LA is a modern classic—elegant, lightweight, and incredibly expressive. Designed with player comfort and tonal integrity in mind, this guitar delivers vintage clarity with modern refinement. ⸻ Tonewoods Chosen for Clarity and Character We selected a solid 1-3/4” (44.4 mm) light ash body, known for its clear, resonant voice and lightweight feel. Loved by tone purists, light ash offers crisp highs, warm bass, and fantastic sustain, making it a top choice for those who seek balance across the spectrum. The neck is crafted from North Eastern U.S. hard maple with a comfortable C-profile, measuring: • 21 mm (53/64”) at the 1st fret • 22 mm (55/64”) at the 12th fret Topped with a rosewood fingerboard featuring 6mm pearloid dot inlays and 22 medium jumbo hardened nickel silver frets, the playability is both fast and smooth. The bone nut (1-11/16” / 43 mm) ensures tone integrity and tuning stability, supported by 19:1 locking die-cast machine heads for quick string changes and precision tuning. ⸻ Bridge: Full Contact, Full Sustain The FCS-1 Full Contact System™ bridge is engineered for maximum string-to-body vibration transfer. A solid steel blade base with individual saddle pins and an aluminum string block (FCS-1A) results in an open, harp-like resonance with excellent sustain and clarity. ⸻ Lace Holy Grail Pickups – Quiet Power with Vintage Soul Equipped with a full set of Lace Holy Grail pickups, the Illuminator LA offers a classic single-coil sound without the usual hum. Expect articulate highs, rounded lows, and a touch of modern precision. The controls include: • 1 Master Volume • 2 Tone controls (neck & middle pickups) • 5-way lever switch with the following positions: 1. Neck only 2. Neck + Middle 3. Middle only 4. Middle + Bridge 5. Bridge only • (Note: If you still wish to include the 3 slide switches as mentioned一please clarify their function so I can add them properly. Your current version only defines a 5-way switch.) ⸻ Specifications • Scale Length: 25.5” (648 mm) • Neck: Canadian Maple • Fingerboard: Rosewood, 12” Radius (304.8 mm) • Frets: 22 Medium Jumbo, Hardened Nickel Silver • Nut: Bone, 1-11/16” (43 mm) • Machine Heads: 19:1 Locking Die-Cast • Body: Solid Light Ash • Pickups: Lace Holy Grail (S-S-S) • Bridge: Full Contact Systems™ FCS-1 with Aluminum Alloy String Block (FCS-1A) • Controls: 1 Volume, 2 Tone, 5-Way Lever Switch • Case: Tweed-Covered Hard Shell Case Included ⸻ This is a refined instrument made for players who love classic tone with a modern edge.
