Bolero STE Elite Black – Modern Precision. Single-Cut Authority.
If you’re after the depth and sustain of a single-cut but want a sharper, more contemporary response, the Bolero STE Elite Black brings focus and punch without feeling overbuilt.
Its mahogany body and set neck construction create a thick, resonant core tone with natural sustain. The 25.5″ scale length adds snap and definition, keeping riffs tight and articulate — especially under heavier gain — while maintaining a familiar feel for players used to standard scale instruments.
What It Feels Like
-
Standard U neck profile (21mm–22.5mm) — balanced and comfortable
-
Set neck construction for smooth upper-fret access
-
Ebony fingerboard with a 14″ radius for fast bends
-
24 frets for extended range
-
Graphtech TUSQ® nut for tuning stability
There’s a reassuring solidity to this guitar — substantial without being bulky, smooth without feeling delicate.
