Frequently Asked Questions
The fade finish is beautiful, but it will show wear over time; a quality polish and occasional waxing are recommended to maintain its luster.
They're fairly straightforward once you understand the basics – volume/tone split for coil-tapping and phase shifting – but a quick online search will provide detailed explanations.
The Thin-U profile is slimmer and more comfortable than many of ESP's thicker neck shapes, making it a good option for players with smaller hands or those who prefer a faster feel.
