Frequently Asked Questions
The faded finish is designed to look worn, so minor scratches and imperfections are part of the aesthetic, but heavier use will naturally enhance that vintage character.
The medium jumbo frets and SlimTaper neck profile generally accommodate a wide range of hand sizes, but those with very large hands might find the neck a little snug.
It's a unique design, and string changes can take slightly longer compared to a standard tune-o-matic; setup may require more careful attention to intonation.
