The SC-Custom Plus Fluence Range: Five More Fishman Fluence Drops

Bangin’ Build

Solid build: Okoume body with a maple top, a set nyatoh neck and a jatoba fingerboard with white pearloid trapezoid inlays and ivory binding. A guitar made for shredding, the modern C profile measures 20.5 mm at the 1st fret and 22.5 mm at the 12th, so it is slim enough for fast runs. Medium jumbo Blacksmith stainless steel frets are long-lasting and keep bends smooth.

Triple Voiced Humbuckers

The electronics are where things get hot: a Fishman Fluence Classic Humbucker sits in both the bridge and neck positions. Two volume and one tone pot and a 3-way switch for pickup selection give you a variety of sound from two pickups without a crowded control plate. The Fluence Classic humbuckers offer multiple pickup voices, selected via push/pull. Voice 1: classic humbucker. Both pickups deliver a moderate-output humbucker voicing with warm mids and a smooth top end. Voice 2: selected via the neck volume pot, the neck splits into a clear and airy chime while the bridge turns hot-rodded, aggressive and built for drive. Voice 3: selected via the tone pot, both pickups drop into clean single-coil.

Fixed or Floyd?

WSC LP17 tune-o-matic, or Floyd Rose 1000 locking tremolo – you can set this guitar up for solid, stable single-cut tone or for wild tremolo tricks, and the Fluence tones carry through both. The fixed bridge models have a typical scale length 629 mm (24.75″), whereas the Floyd Rose version’s longer 648 mm (25.5”) scale brings extra tension and bite, ideal for tight low-end riffs and precise lead lines. WSC Schaller-style J07LKF locking tuners keep tuning stable and make string changes quick, D’Addario EXL110 strings included. Finished in Vintage Black, Trans Brown Flame, Ocean Flame, and Black Cherry Flame, a modern-style single cut guitar with a gnarly, versatile Fluence pickup system.
