LHM1-TGG Transparent Green Gradation Luke Hoskin Signature.
The LHM1 is a model developed in collaboration with Luke Hoskin in Protest the Hero. A band that, with their progressive metal/mathcore, pushed the boundaries of technical metal. Extremely technical and rhythmically advanced playing with very unexpected elements.
The model is basically an RG with a fixed stand that has been modulated according to Luke's thoughts on how a guitar should be. No one says it better than Luke himself.
"I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to test-drive many Ibanez guitars over the years. Each and every guitar is special in its own right and inspiring for different reasons. This one, though, feels complete. Every last detail is refined to exactly what I need in an instrument; nothing more and certainly nothing less. I feel comfortable saying that this is my favorite guitar I have had the privilege of slinging over my shoulder, and one that I am very proud to have played a part in creating. !”.
The guitar is equipped with Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers, a completely new way of making pickups. An active mic with two different sounds you can switch between built into the mic itself called voice 1 and voice 2.
- Voice 1: "Modern Active High Output - The ideal active ceramic humbucker tone. Crisp, searing crunch, tight bass with no mud, and a growl".
- Voice 2: "Modern Passive Attack - Organic, high output, passive ceramic tone. Superb distortion characteristics with Fluence dynamics and response".
The guitar is equipped with the Ibanez Wizard neck profile, the Wizard can best be described as a slightly thicker Super Wizard neck. It has the same flat fingerboard (430mmR), the same width and the same well-grinding jumbo frets as the Super Wizard but is slightly thicker. A neck for those who want what Ibanez is known for, an extremely fast and easy-to-play neck, but want a little more wood in their hand.
