Frequently Asked Questions
The thin-U profile is noticeably slimmer and faster than most vintage Fender necks, offering a more modern feel.
The Floyd Rose can be a bit intimidating initially, but there are plenty of online resources to guide setup and adjustments – practice and patience are key.
The satin finish on the back of the guitar will show wear over time, which some players appreciate for a broken-in feel, while the maple top will maintain its luster with proper care.
