Blade Texas Deluxe

Not Just A Pretty Face – TheTexas Deluxe was designed for the musician who is looking for great tone and great looks. The alder body delivers that sought after classic 60’s sound while the flamed maple top and pearl pickguard embellishments add an exclusive visual touch. The bridge humbucker proves that “fat is where it’s at” when it’s solo time while the VSC-4 lets you break the tone barrier all the time.

FEATURES

Adjustable Tension Guide
Every detail of a Blade® guitar represents a commitment to engineering perfection. The Adjustable Tension Guide (ATG) perfectly balances the string tension at the nut with an asymmetric spring loaded height adjustment to keep you in tune, no matter how hard you wail on your whammy bar

M-525 Tremolo
A Blade® classic. The custom spring steel saddles are spaced at 52.5 mm to give the best string alignment for both single coils and standard sized humbuckers for the best string-to-string response and afford optimal string positioning at the edge of the fingerboard.

EZ-Access Truss Rod
Born in the workshop as the logical result of simplifying truss rod adjustment, the Levinson EZ-Access neck rod has been a standard feature on Blade® guitars since 1987. By simply removing the Levinson imprinted cover at the 22nd fret the neck rod tension can be adjusted to compensate for seasonal humidity changes affecting your action.

The Variable Spectrum Control
The Variable Spectrum Control (VSC) lets you break through traditional tonal boundaries. The user adjustable presets let you change your sound from creamy overdrive to bell-like highs – instantly. All Blade® electronics also have a passive bypass to give you pure vintage tone and ensure that you never run out of power. The Variable Spectrum Control (VSC) Tone Guide (PDF)

Push-Push Humbucker Split
No need to grab anything to split your humbucker. Simply tap the tone pot and you’re done. Easy and reliable.
