This D-Roc is a seriously capable 5-string – the multiscale really does make those higher notes sing in tune. The mahogany and those FD-3N pickups give it a growly, modern vintage vibe that's perfect for rock, funk, and even heavier genres. It's a great choice for players wanting a premium instrument with a comfortable feel and a powerful voice.
