GraphTech NuBone Nut
All SWING Electric Guitars & Basses will be equipped with Graph Tech Nu-Bone Nuts from our production of September 2006. Compared to standard materials, you¡¯ll hear crystal clear bell-like high end, big open lows, and a noticeable increase in overall sustain.
Graph Tech Nuts have quickly become an important tone performance tool for many guitar manufacturers, luthiers and playing professionals around the world. Especially, Nu-Bone nuts have rich tone and sustain, without the inconsistency found in ivory, bone and other natural materials. Bone and ivory have hard and soft spots (grain), throughout each piece, hampering consistent transfer of vibrations to the guitar.

L.R.Baggs X-Bridge & CTRL-X (Acoustic Sound) Ctrl-X is the first and only onboard mixer that will combine traditional passive magnetics with new-generation active electric guitar piezo bridge pickups, such as the powerful L.R. Baggs X-Bridge or T-Bridge. With the Ctrl-X, you can mix an active piezo electric guitar bridge with your magnetic pickups without active circuitry ruining the sound of your magnetics. The Ctrl-X combined with the X-Bridge will allow you to upgrade your Strat to the performance of state-of-the-art hybrid guitars.

In mono mode, the active X-Bridge and passive magnetic pickups are passively mixed and a standard guitar cable is used. A blend control replaces the middle tone knob, allowing full panning from passive mags to X-Bridge. All tone functions are summed to the third tone knob, while the volume knob acts as a master volume. A 3-way switch gives instant access to the stock Strat, mixed, and X-Bridge-only sounds. When the 3-way switch is flipped to mags only, the X-Bridge is switched out of the circuit and only the pure stock Strat sound is present.
A stereo mode is available at the push of a button for sonic adventurers. Send your X-Bridge and magnetic signals to two different channels or amps for the ultimate in control and sound shaping possibilities (for instance, add distortion to your magnetics while keeping the X-Bridge signal clean for a more acoustic sound).
