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.

29 Frets Multiscale Set Neck Wenge Neck + Board Push/Pull Coil Taps Premium Gigbag Included

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.

Hardware focus: Ormsby custom bridge, locking tuners, and controls — tuned for stability and reliability on stage.
Notes:
 ** 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.

Nunchucker A8 — Bridge Humbucker
CustomShop design • A8 feel • Coil-tap capable

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.
Best for

Rock, hard rock, punk, modern metal — anything needing punchy rhythm and confident lead cut.

What you’ll hear

Focused mids, tight lows, and a driven feel that makes the guitar sound immediate and “awake”.

Old School+ — Neck A2 Single Coil
CustomShop design • A2 warmth • Clear & articulate

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.
Best for

Cleans, expressive leads, bluesy neck work, modern ambient textures, and articulate chord passages.

What you’ll hear

Clear, dynamic neck voice with a sweet top-end and a musical mid character that avoids mud.

Why this pairing is deliberate: the bridge gives you authority and drive; the neck gives you clarity and expression — so the SX’s extended range (and 29 frets) actually becomes usable across more musical situations.
