Orion - Aurora Fade

Introducing the Orion Aurora Fade by Soleil Custom Guitars – a perfect fusion of craftsmanship and striking design, crafted for musicians who seek both exceptional performance and visual impact.

Features:

• Exquisite Finish: The high gloss Aurora Fade finish is a breathtaking gradient that transitions seamlessly from deep purples to vibrant, greens.

• Premium Tonewoods: Crafted from the finest tonewoods, the Orion features a solid Black Limba body and a flamed Maple top, delivering rich, resonant tones with exceptional sustain.

• Neck and Fingerboard: The guitar boasts a smooth, fast-playing flame maple neck with a flame maple fingerboard, adorned with pearloid inlay dots and Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dots.

• Pickups and Electronics: Equipped with direct-to-body mount Seymour Duncan JB/Jazz set pickups, the Orion provides a versatile range of tones, from warm, mellow cleans to aggressive, biting leads. The intuitive control layout includes a 3-way toggle switch, 1 volume knob with coil split, and 1 tone knob for precise sound shaping.

• Hardware: Premium hardware components, including a Hipshot Contour 6-string tremolo, Hipshot Grip-Lok open gear 18:1 ratio tuners, and a recessed output jack, ensure rock-solid tuning stability and effortless playability.

• Frets and Truss Rod: Featuring 24 jumbo stainless steel frets and a heel-adjust 2-way truss rod, the Orion offers unparalleled playability and durability.

• Neck Profile and Joint: The Orion features a modern asymmetrical C-D neck profile, crafted for optimal comfort and performance.

Benefits of a C-D Neck Profile

• Improved Ergonomics: The rounder C shape on the bass side and flatter D shape on the treble side provide a natural fit, reducing hand fatigue during long playing sessions.

• Better Thumb Placement: The shape supports ideal thumb positioning for both chords and lead playing, giving players enhanced control and grip.

• Smooth Transitions: This profile allows for easy navigation across the neck, making it more comfortable to access higher frets without sacrificing playability.

• Additional Features: The guitar includes a bone nut, Floyd Rose string tree, all chrome hardware, an offset Tele-style body shape, a belly carve, and a signature arm carve for enhanced comfort and playability.
