Frequently Asked Questions

It's a fairly standard slim taper, similar to many LTD necks – comfortable for most players, but not as thick as some of their more vintage-inspired models.
Absolutely. The standard mounting pattern makes swapping pickups straightforward, allowing for easy tonal customization down the line.
The finish is a decent gloss, but basswood tends to show scratches more readily than denser woods; a little care will keep it looking sharp.
