The Shelton Solar Arrow in Charcoal Sparkle Gloss is a bold, modern take on a classic single-cut silhouette, designed for players who want power, precision, and striking visual presence. Its mahogany body provides a rich, resonant tonal core with strong midrange emphasis and excellent sustain, making it an ideal platform for everything from articulate rhythm work to soaring lead tones. The Charcoal Sparkle Gloss finish adds depth and dimension, catching the light with subtle metallic shimmer while maintaining a sleek, refined edge that feels equally at home on stage or in the studio.
The mahogany neck is shaped into a comfortable Medium Oval C profile that offers a familiar, supportive feel without excess bulk. Measuring .835" at the 1st fret and .925" at the 12th, the neck delivers a balanced carve that encourages effortless movement up and down the 25.5" scale length. Finished in Light Aged Pelham Blue nitrocellulose lacquer, the neck provides a smooth, broken-in feel and a unique visual contrast against the dark sparkle body, blending vintage character with contemporary flair.
An ebony fingerboard enhances clarity and articulation, adding snap and definition to every note. With a 12" radius, the playing surface is perfectly suited for expressive bends, fast lead lines, and precise fretting across all 22 JESCAR FW 47095 frets. A Tusq XL nut, cut to a 1.687" width, contributes to excellent tuning stability and consistent string spacing, while the factory-installed 10–46 string set offers a responsive, balanced feel right out of the case.
Electronics are voiced for power and versatility, featuring a pair of Lindy Fralin High Output humbuckers in both bridge and neck positions. These pickups deliver muscular low end, punchy mids, and clear, authoritative highs, excelling in higher-gain environments without sacrificing note definition. Independent volume controls for each pickup and a master tone allow for precise shaping and blending, while a Switchcraft 3-way selector provides intuitive access to bridge, parallel middle, and neck tones. Premium components—including Bourns split-shaft potentiometers and a Sprague Orange Drop capacitor—ensure smooth, reliable control and consistent tonal performance.
Hardware choices reinforce the Solar Arrow’s professional-grade build. A TonePros AVR2P-N Tune-o-matic bridge enhances sustain, intonation, and overall resonance, while Kluson Keystone vintage 6-in-line tuners provide stable, accurate tuning with classic styling. Nickel hardware complements the Charcoal Sparkle finish, while black bonnet knobs and a 5-ply black pickguard complete the guitar’s understated, aggressive aesthetic. The Shelton Solar Arrow Charcoal Sparkle Gloss ships in a G&G Deluxe Hardshell Case, offering premium protection for an instrument built to perform at the highest level.
