SX RUN 16B
Featuring 29 frets and available in 6 or 7-string configurations, the SX is one of the most versatile platforms we build — designed to cover huge range without feeling “one-trick”.
Available colours: Lavender, Seafoam, Chameleon Green/Gold, and Black/White grain.
The metallic Lavender 16B SX pairs a Mahogany body with a 3-piece laminated Roasted Wenge set neck and Wenge fretboard. It ships with CustomShop-designed pickups: Nunchucker A8 Humbucker (Bridge) + Old School+ A2 Single Coil (Neck), plus push/pull coil taps for expanded voices.
What makes this SX special
The SX is built for players who want range (29 frets), precision (multiscale), and real tonal contrast between positions — from tight, driven bridge aggression to articulate, musical neck clarity.
** Black/White grains are unique to each guitar — see individual listings.
Available until sold out.

Pickups (and why they suit the SX platform)
This is a deliberate “contrast” pairing: a bridge humbucker that can hit hard without losing definition, and a neck single coil that stays clear and expressive. With the push/pull coil taps, you get extra voices without changing the core character of the guitar.
A “sweet spot” bridge humbucker: clear enough to stay defined, but with enough heat to drive the front end of the amp and keep riffs feeling urgent.
- Amp-driving punch: strong mid push that reads as “bigger” in a band mix.
- Tight, controlled attack: fast response for palm-mutes and staccato rhythm work.
- Bite on demand: voiced to keep pick attack present, not blurred.
- Stage-friendly stability: built for consistent performance at volume.
Rock, hard rock, punk, modern metal — anything needing punchy rhythm and confident lead cut.
Focused mids, tight lows, and a driven feel that makes the guitar sound immediate and “awake”.
A neck single coil built for clarity, feel, and dynamics — the kind of pickup that stays musical when you dig in, and still sounds sweet when you clean up.
- Articulate cleans: note separation that stays intact on complex chords.
- Warm, vocal neck lines: A2 character keeps the top end sweet instead of sharp.
- Great “contrast” with the bridge: switching positions feels like changing guitars, not just EQ.
- Pairs perfectly with the coil-tap setup: more usable tonal shades from the same wiring.
Cleans, expressive leads, bluesy neck work, modern ambient textures, and articulate chord passages.
Clear, dynamic neck voice with a sweet top-end and a musical mid character that avoids mud.
The SX Run 16B is where playability meets innovation — ready to deliver precision, tone, and performance without compromise.
