“I had the pleasure in helping in the creation of these beauties (the NS-14 and NS-15 models), and I love the weight, sound, and ultimate playability. These are among the best guitars I have ever played. Check ‘em out.” – Neal Schon, Journey
The NS-15 sports a slightly larger body than the NS-14 model along with a spruce top and maple back and neck for big, clear, airy tone. Neal Schon was involved in nearly every aspect of designing this guitar, from the stylized f-holes to the inclusion of a Floyd Rose tremolo system. Other specifications include, a 25” scale length mahogany neck, an East Indian rosewood fingerboard with Neal Schon “S” Dragon inlay made of black lip mother of pearl, gold mother of pearl, and paua heart, and 57/08 pickups with an optional sustainer for added texture and versatility.
