BI-WS1000N2 6-string full
body cutaway acoustic electric featuring the new N2 neck
The Black Ice Series embodies Artistry. Each instrument is unique. The soundboard on each guitar is meticulously crafted to achieve an aesthetically pleasing appearance without overbuilding it. Each soundboard is individually conceived so every guitar is unique. Unique in design and unique in tone.
The WS is a wonderfully versatile guitar. Combining the best qualities of large and small bodied guitars, this body shape is ideally suited for a variety of musical situations. A large, deep chamber gives the WS strong projection and rich bass. The narrow waist and tight upper bout allow for a ringing treble, good balance and clear definition of individual notes. Overall, the WS is impeccably balanced. The shapely curves and light weight make the WS a comfortable guitar to cradle or stand with. The extra deep cutaway encourages playing up the fretboard.
The N1 is the original RainSong
6-string low-profile neck. It is unique in design, with a feel
that is at once comfortable and different, this neck is easy to play.
Pre-engineered for optimal relief, the N1 does not include a truss
rod.
The N2 neck
is a result of an extensive, long-term collaboration with the renowned
artist Steve Miller (www.stevemillerband.com)
and Master Luthier John Bolin (www.bolinguitars.com).
The neck design is based on a modified "U" profile that has been popular
in guitars since the 1950s. While the N2 has a more substantial feel
than the N1, it is ergonomically sound and actually results in better
transfer of string vibration energy to the soundboard. The N2 features
a truss rod that is accessible from the head stock. Graphite does
not warp or bow with changes in humidity and temperature. The purpose
of a truss rod in the N2 is to allow customization of the relief to
suit individual preferences.
