This CustomShop Headless Metal V is built for speed, stability, and modern precision — with a Swamp Ash body topped in Maple Burl, a 3-piece laminated Rock Maple set-neck, and a striking Bocote fretboard. The headless hardtail platform keeps everything tight, balanced, and stage-ready.
Loaded with CustomShop Master Blaster (Bridge) and CustomShop Hybrid (Neck), plus push/pull versatility and a 3-way toggle, this build is designed to cover aggressive rhythm tones, articulate leads, and clean separation when you need it.

Pickups: tight precision on the bridge, versatile clarity on the neck
With swamp ash + a headless hardtail platform, this build naturally leans toward fast attack and clean note separation. The CustomShop pickup set is chosen to keep that definition intact—especially under gain— while still delivering a neck tone that feels musical and expressive.
Built for precision rhythm—tight low end, firm mid presence, and a pick response that stays fast and defined.
- Controlled low end: keeps riffs tight and separated across the multiscale spread.
- Crisp pick attack: percussive rhythm feel without harshness.
- Mix-ready mids: helps your guitar sit forward in dense arrangements.
- Headless hardtail synergy: translates sustain into punch and authority.
Modern metal/prog, tight rhythm work, palm-mutes, articulate high-gain leads.
Focused lows, strong mid bite, and a fast “snap” that stays clear when the gain goes up.
Designed to keep neck tones open and articulate—so cleans stay defined and leads stay vocal instead of muddy.
- Musical neck voice: smooth top end with clear note separation.
- Lead-friendly feel: expressive, singing sustain without woolly lows.
- Push/pull versatility: extra voices for cleaner textures and layered parts.
- Strong contrast: a real change in character vs. the bridge pickup.
Cleans, melodic leads, warm soloing, and versatile split-style textures.
Clear, smooth neck tone with an expressive feel and usable alternate sounds via push/pull.
The CustomShop Headless Metal V — Green Burl is built to hit hard, stay tight, and look outrageous doing it.
