The bridge position \u201cSTP-5\u201d combines the characteristic tone of a single-coil with a sweet, warm tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both pickups feature Alnico 5 magnets and metal braided wire.

While replicating the neck angle of the domestic Handmade Series DUKE model, which features the same arch shape, we&#8217;ve made subtle adjustments tailored to the wood and design. This achieves the optimal balance between a crisp attack born from moderate tension and rich body resonance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The neck-to-body joint employs a deep joint method, featuring a wide bonding surface that effectively transmits vibrations. This wide contact area also offers the advantage of facilitating precise angle adjustments and woodworking accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Body and neck thickness designed for playability<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-299795\" data-id=\"299795\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deviser.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/duke-atumi-800x533.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deviser.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/duke-atumi-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.deviser.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/duke-atumi-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.deviser.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/duke-atumi-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.deviser.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/duke-atumi-232x155.jpg 232w, https:\/\/www.deviser.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/duke-atumi-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.deviser.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/duke-atumi.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-538402\" data-id=\"538402\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deviser.co.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/DUKE-CTM-Alnico-012.jpg\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a aria-label=\"Pause Slideshow\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\" role=\"button\"><\/a><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The body features a thickness adjusted within the limits of maintaining the DUKE&#8217;s signature exterior balance.
