Frequently Asked Questions
Masonite provides a surprisingly airy resonance, but sustain isn't as long as a solid wood body. It contributes to the guitar's distinctive, almost hollow, tone.
They're a decent step up, providing smoother tuning and better stability compared to very basic hardware, but aren't considered premium-grade.
The longer scale creates a looser string tension, making bends easier and lending a more relaxed feel. It's a big shift if you're used to standard scale guitars.
