Frequently Asked Questions
Masonite doesn't sustain as long as solid wood, but it contributes to a distinctive, lively resonance and a lighter overall feel.
The neck has a fairly standard 'C' shape, but the shorter scale length might feel a bit cramped for players with very large hands.
Splitting the Lipstick humbucker yields a thinner, more Strat-like tone, expanding the guitar's versatility beyond its usual thick, chimey character.
