Frequently Asked Questions
The Sentient is voiced for high output and clarity, leaning towards a more aggressive tone than some of Duncan's more vintage-inspired models, but still retaining good definition.
The Slim U profile is generally comfortable, but the ebony fingerboard can feel slightly harder than rosewood; those with very large hands might prefer a thicker neck.
It's quite versatile; while capable of extreme dives, the locking nut and high-quality tremolo allow for subtle vibrato and nuanced pitch bending with proper setup.
