NEW GEN NECK SYSTEM & IMPROVED INSTRUMENT BALANCE

The V7 New Gen features a revised neck profile with Edgeless™ and Stainless steel frets for improved playability and durability, complemented by lightweight Aluminum tuners for better balance and reduced neck dive, plus Luminlay side dots for enhanced stage visibility.

UPDATED ELECTRONICS ARCHITECTURE & PICKUP TUNING

Configured with newly voiced Marcus Super-J Revolution pickups and a streamlined Heritage-3 preamp, the V7 New Gen delivers enhanced clarity, note separation, and dynamic response while retaining mid-frequency control and push/pull active–passive tonal flexibility.

EXPANDED VARIANTS WITH IMPROVED WEIGHT CONSISTENCY

The New Gen lineup introduces roasted Maple neck options and expanded finish and fingerboard combinations, while tighter weight consistency across production improves predictability and addresses prior variability concerns.
