  The carved contours and brilliant appointments give the Solider an elegant and powerful presence. At Warrior, we take great pride in the tone of our instruments... and one of the secrets to great tone is great wood. This sword features a solid premiere mahogony body averaging 30 plus years old and a deeply contoured top. The binding which is actually the exposed edge of the top contrasts superbly with the finish you choose. The Soldier's neck is 3 piece with a purple heart tonebar, rosewood fretboard, with the Warrior sword inlay on the 12th fret.
Quote from Guitar Player review 10-02:
"The low action, seamless neck joint, and deep, beveled cutaways make the Soldier a super-slick player. No buzzes were encountered even at the highest frets, and that's partly due to the sunken bridge - a factor that allows for almost zero neck tilt. Unique to this guitar is its G-Factor stringing system, which can be configured for top - or through-body loading. The E,A,and D strings are run through the body for tighter bass response." The high E,B, and G are strung from the top of the G-Factor to minimize tension and attack. Electronic Warfare: The Soldier's magnetic pickups are selected via a 5-way switch, which provides the following selections:
Position 1: bridge pickup
Position 2: bridge coils in parallel
Position 3: bridge and neck pickups
Position 4: outer coils, parallel
Position 5: neck pickup
These settings yield a wide range of tones - from kicking bridge-pickup chunk to sweet dual-humbucker textures to crisp split-coil colors.
