CONS

- • The fixed bridge limits tremolo/vibrato options for players seeking that flexibility.
- • The 'U' neck profile might not suit players preferring a slimmer, more modern feel.

Frequently Asked Questions
They're voiced for a more articulate, less muddy high-gain tone than many, retaining clarity even at high volumes, with a definite vintage vibe.
While not overly thick, the 'U' profile provides substantial grip; smaller hands might require some adjustment, but it’s generally a comfortable and stable shape.
Neck-through designs provide enhanced resonance and sustain because the wood grain flows continuously through the entire neck and body, minimizing damping.
