Frequently Asked Questions

It’s a softer, more rounded electric tone; less bite and less high-end sizzle than a classic Tele, but still usable for rhythm and cleaner lead lines.
No, the fingerboard is unfinished and will benefit from occasional oiling to prevent dryness and cracking – a standard practice for many rosewood fingerboards.
The scale length and string spacing are well-suited for most common alternate tunings, but heavier gauge strings might be needed for extremely low tunings to maintain proper tension.
