2026 Astro® Carved Top - White Tiger + Titanic Pearl
Let me get this out of the way, this Astro rules. This is the second Astro to feature a super comfy and futuristic fixed bridge, the Sophia 3:44 hardtail. So far, all of the Astros built had Floyds, so I wanted to do something special for the Astro fans that wanted a non-tremolo option. I think we succeeded. This Astro has some really unique specs, and it’s quite lovely to play. What’s up with the Titanic Pearl? Well, I happened across some blue/purple pearl that happened to be mixed with coal harvested from the wreck of the Titanic during a recovery expedition in 1994, and I thought it’d be super rad to not only shoot it over the finish (and logo), but also use it for the inlay!
