The Asgard

Overview

The Asgard takes its cues from curves and shapes in Nordic and Viking design (hence the name) mixed with a '70s feel.

The body is two-piece Douglas fir, with the grain pattern exaggerated rather than flattened. It features a subtly-sparkled smoked perspex pickguard and brushed aluminium control plates sweeping across the body, offset with two genuine NOS '70s knobs.

Bridge duties are taken care of by the Zona Bifrost Bridge; with its aluminium plate construction and large surface area it offers a huge increase in resonance over more conventional designs. Zona's hand-wound pickups provide clear bell-like tone and optimum flexibility of sound.
