Frequently Asked Questions
The varying scale lengths reduce string tension, allowing for easier playing and improved intonation across the fretboard.
The elliptical profile is generally comfortable, but some players with very large hands might find it slightly narrower than a traditional 'C' shape.
It offers a great balance of features and performance; the pickup combination provides a broader tonal palette than many competitors in a similar price range.
