Active Quilt Top Guitar

The Haywire Active Quilt Top Guitar features a Quilted Maple Top and is one of our flashiest looking double cutaway guitars. With a highly figuredhighly figured quilt or flamed Maple top jumping out through its deep, vintage sunburst finish, this is not only a guitar that stands out in a crowd, but a guitar whose beauty is definitely more than skin deep.

EMG SA active pickups provide silent operation and are wound by hand to provide you with extended frequency response and crispness. Haywire also adds their exclusive “Seven Sound Pickup Modification” to this guitar, giving you the two additional combinations of the neck and bridge pickup together or all three pickups together.

WHAT’S AN ACTIVE PICKUP, AND WHY WOULD I USE ONE?

An active pickup is one that uses electronics to improve your sound and the overall performance of your instrument. EMG pickups utilize an internal preamp, which makes our pickups louder, more responsive, and reduces unwanted noise.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF AN EMG PICKUP?

The greatest advantage to using EMG pickups is the reduction in noise. No longer will bad power, dimming house lights, neon signs… cause your guitar to buzz incessantly. You can use an extra-long cable runs, wireless systems, pedals… all without the loss of treble or your overall tone. You’ll get your sound consistently every time.

A Floyd Rose tremolo comes standard with this model, so you can dive bomb at will with a bridge that is known throughout the industry for its excellent tuning stability.

This Guitar features a compound fretboard radius

The Maple Warmoth neck features a compound radius, running from 10″ at the nut to 16″ at the 22nd fret. This compound radius allows for comfortable chording near the nut, while allowing for low action and easy bending higher up the neck with no “fretting-out”. Stainless steel frets ensure ultra-long life and silky-smooth bends.

Playing at the higher end of the neck past the 12th fret is effortless on this guitar, thanks to Haywire’s exclusive Recessed Heel Crest. With this feature, the bulky heel crest wood that blocks your hand has been greatly reduced, making it easier for you to reach the very top of your neck.

This Haywire Active Quilt Top Custom has all the features you need to be your “go to electric player”, while looking sweet enough to become your “Number One”.  As with every Haywire Signature Guitar, you can change any component choice or design element to create your very own truly unique guitar!
