CONS

Frequently Asked Questions
The Thin U profile is a bit slimmer and flatter than some of LTD’s thicker necks, offering faster playing, but still retaining a comfortable feel.
The gloss finish is beautiful but requires care; a good quality polish and careful handling will prevent issues. A thin finish is common on guitars of this style.
While usable, the split neck pickup is more of a humbucker in single-coil mode, lacking the true clarity and chime of a vintage single-coil—it's a useful option, but not its strength.
