Steve Stevens Ascender Platinum

Steve Stevens Signature Ascender Platinum
Steve Stevens’ Vision of Style and Versatility Brought to Life

The Steve Stevens Signature Ascender Platinum offers a sleek, performance-driven design that blends cutting-edge innovation with bold, versatile sound. Created in collaboration with legendary guitarist Steve Stevens, the Platinum delivers exceptional tone, modern aesthetics, and features tailored for the discerning musician.

At its core are Bare Knuckle Ray Gun pickups, engineered to produce dynamic tones that respond with precision and clarity to your playing style. From warm, clean tones to powerful high-gain crunch, the Platinum adapts effortlessly to any genre or musical context. Coil-splitting functionality adds even greater versatility, allowing players to seamlessly switch between single-coil brightness and humbucker depth. The LED selector switch adds a bold visual element, lighting up in red, green, or blue to reflect your active pickup configuration.

Bezel tuners ensure precise and reliable tuning adjustments, while the master tone and volume controls with pull-pot splits provide complete control over your sound. The Ray Gun-engraved pickguard enhances the guitar’s bold and distinctive aesthetic, complemented by sleek dot inlays and a high-gloss finish.

Available in Jet Black Gloss and Olympic White Gloss, the Platinum’s modern design is as striking as it is functional, making it a standout choice for players who value both style and substance. Every detail reflects Steve Stevens’ uncompromising standards and dedication to pushing the boundaries of guitar design.
