Frequently Asked Questions
The semi-hollow design adds warmth and airiness to the tone, but can also make it more susceptible to feedback at high gain levels.
The neck is a comfortable 'D' shape with a moderate thickness, suitable for most hand sizes, though players with very large hands might find it slightly snug.
The STR52-1/SM-1b combination offers a wider tonal palette than many guitars with standard pickup configurations, allowing for everything from clean, chimey tones to aggressive rock sounds.
