Headstock and Fretboard
The headstock features a flamed maple veneer cap, similar in color to the body. On this side, one can clearly see the slotted string posts, which may be tightened with a coin or flathead screwdriver. Also evident are the Graph Tech string trees and nut.

The HSS pickup configuration features Seymour Duncan SSL-1 single-coils in the neck and middle positions, plus a Seymour Duncan Custom 5 TB-14 bridge humbucker. Controls appear to be rather straightforward, with just a Master Volume and Tone. There's more than meets the eye, though, as the Tone control is actually a push-pull pot for splitting the bridge humbucker coils. In effect, you'd be able to elicit both pseudo single-coil and full-blown humbucker tones from the TB-14.
