All Erickson Guitar Models come with the following features:
• Custom concave body contour to allow a closer ergonomically correct relationship between artist and guitar
• Smooth Neck Heel : Allows for easier fret access with the best possible combination of resonant tone and sustain
• The shape of tonal coloration originates in the wood; the more types of wood the more intricate the tonal color. Therefore Erickson guitars utilize specially selected woods combined according to computerized data spectrum sound testing.
• All magnetic pickup and Tone Hound Acoustic Sensor locations are configured harmonically for the greatest precision in frequency response
• Genesis Series guitars use two new scale lengths 27 inch scale for lead players and 25 inch scale for rhythm. Twenty-five inch scale is desirable if the player is required to reach chords with long finger stretches this scale length also builds customer dependency. Twenty-seven inch scale allows for more flexibility in the upper register of the instrument as your fingertips can fit between the frets easier. The player can bend notes easier because each string has more flexibility. Tonal fatness can be increased by using thicker strings, while retaining similar tension to shorter scale length necks.
• Three fret sizes are used within the same fretboard: the 1st to the 6th are wide jumbo frets; the 7th to the 11th frets are medium width; and vintage Fender¨ size frets are used for the 12th thru 24th positions. After much research EDA has determined the above sizes allow for the best design in ergonomic function and playability.
• A contoured and recessed edge jack is molded into the tail end of each instrument to allow the chord to be looped around the strap at the end pin.
• Sperzel¨ Locking Tuners are used exclusively on all Erickson Guitars¨
• The Erickson Design Associates patented Theory "Z" Components Parts System is used on all Erickson Guitars.
• Erickson Sonrise Multi-Spectral finishes utilizing translucent Kandy^TM colors in Simtec¨ Polycoat.
