In the year 2024, the SA-126 Special will push the boundaries of what a contemporary guitar can be, as envisioned by Wolfgang Van Halen.
The SA-126 guitar showcases the pinnacle of innovation. Combining elements of semi-hollow and solid body designs, it features a chambered/center block solid body and bolt-on neck. It also boasts top-notch components typically found on high-performance brands, including a slim neck, jumbo frets, and high-output pickups. This versatile instrument was developed by Wolfgang Van Halen to strike a perfect balance between aggressive rhythm tones and speedy lead playing.
Here is a quick look at the features.
