Striking Wood Pairings Create Visual Depth
The Arrow CTM NT's flamed walnut and spalted maple top contrasts beautifully with its swamp ash body for a guitar that looks as good as it sounds. Its 7-piece quilted maple and exotic hardwood neck also provides stunning figuring. These premium wood pairings don't just provide visual appeal—they enhance tone with their natural resonance and balanced response. You'll appreciate the Arrow CTM NT's impressive sustain and nuanced overtones.
Seymour Duncan Pickups Deliver Dynamic Sound
A pair of Seymour Duncan 78 Model humbuckers gives the Arrow CTM NT a dynamic range of tones. The 78 Model Neck pickup has an Alnico 5 magnet for warm, piano-like lows and buttery mids, perfect for jazz and blues. The 78 Model TB bridge pickup uses an Alnico 2 magnet for tighter bass, brighter treble and higher output—ideal for rock and metal. With a 3-way selector switch, you can combine these pickups for everything from shimmering cleans to high-gain crunch.
Playability Matched to Its Performance
Designed for serious players, the Arrow CTM NT has a fast, comfortable feel. Its Thin U-shaped neck profile offers effortless movement along the ebony fingerboard. 24 jumbo frets provide ample space for bends and vibrato. The contoured heel allows easy access to the upper frets. Adjustable Gotoh tuners keep your tuning stable through dynamic playing. All these attributes make the Arrow CTM NT a high-performance instrument ready for any musical challenge.
