MODERN DOUBLE-CUTAWAY DESIGN

The F10dc features a modern double-cut design that improves upper-fret access compared to the single-cut F10 models while offering a more traditional silhouette within the boutique, extended-range category.

NECK-THROUGH CONSTRUCTION WITH SCALED PLATFORM OPTIONS

All F10dc models feature neck-through 5-piece Maple/Mahogany build for sustain and stability, with 34" scales on 4- and 5-strings and a 35" scale on the 6-string, plus Edgeless™ design, 24 stainless steel frets, and consistent premium nut widths across the range.

BOUTIQUE ELECTRONICS & HARDWARE WITH VARIANT-SPECIFIC PICKUP CONFIGURATION

Equipped with Marcus Heritage-3 HD preamps and Custom-series Revolution pickups: Custom-PJ on 4- and 5-strings, and Custom-H on the 6-string, all F10dc models are reinforced by a Heavymass Custom bridge, premium die-cast tuners, Black Satin hardware, and an included hardshell case with wooden finger rest.

SIRE HARD CASE

The F10dc package is completed with the Sire Hard Case when purchased.

F10dc CONTROL LAYOUT

1. Volume

Controls the overall output. Turn toward Open to increase volume and toward Close to decrease it. Fully closed mutes the sound.

2. Master Tone

Adjusts brightness. Turn toward Open for a brighter tone and toward Close for a darker tone.

3. Pickup Balancer

The center position uses both pickups equally. Turn toward Neck for a warmer neck pickup sound or toward Bridge for a brighter bridge pickup sound.

4. EQ Controls

The Treble, Middle, Middle Frequency, and Bass controls work in Active Mode.

5. Treble

Boosts or cuts the high-frequency range.

6. Middle

Boosts or cuts the midrange.

7. Middle Frequency

Selects the mid-frequency range affected by the Middle control.

8. Bass

Boosts or cuts the low-frequency range.

9. Active / Passive Switch

Select Active to use the onboard preamp and EQ. Select Passive to bypass the preamp for a more natural passive sound.

10. Pickup Mode Switches

Choose between three pickup wiring modes:
• Parallel Humbucker – clear and balanced.
• Single Coil / Outer Coil – brighter and more focused.
• Series Humbucker – stronger, fuller, and higher output.

Basic Tone Tips

For a balanced sound, keep the Pickup Balancer and EQ controls near the center position.
For a brighter, tighter tone, blend toward the bridge pickup and slightly boost Treble.
For a warmer, fuller tone, blend toward the neck pickup and slightly boost Bass.
For more detailed tone shaping, adjust the Middle Frequency first, then boost or cut with the Middle control.
