Frequently Asked Questions
The Thin U is generally flatter and thinner than a traditional C, offering a faster feel, but it's still comfortable and provides good grip.
Like any nitrocellulose finish, it’s susceptible to wear, but the quality of the finish should be quite durable with proper care – a good polish will help maintain its luster.
While some players with larger hands prefer longer scales, the 42mm nut width and jumbo frets provide ample room, and the shorter scale can offer a unique feel and ease of bending.
