Frequently Asked Questions
The neck profile is significantly slimmer and flatter than a vintage Jazzmaster, offering a faster, more modern feel.
While playable, the shorter scale might feel a little cramped for those with very large hands, potentially impacting reach and comfort.
The active pickups handle drop tunings exceptionally well, maintaining clarity and tightness even with lower tunings, though battery changes will be necessary.
