Frequently Asked Questions
The tremolo is functional but budget-friendly, so expect some tuning instability with aggressive use. A proper setup and potentially a heavier string gauge will improve stability.
The thin 'U' neck profile is generally comfortable, but the 42 mm nut width might feel a little narrow for those with very large hands.
The orange finish is a gloss, which is more prone to showing scratches and wear compared to a satin finish. A clear coat of polish can help protect it.
