Frequently Asked Questions
The compound radius starts at 12 in at the nut and flattens to 16 in at the body, offering comfortable chording and easier soloing.
The neck profile is a comfortable 'C' shape, but the 43 mm nut width might feel a little narrower than some prefer for larger hands.
Bolt-on necks generally provide a snappier, more articulate tone compared to set-neck constructions, which often have a warmer, more resonant character.
