Frequently Asked Questions

The U profile is a modern interpretation, slightly more substantial than some very thin vintage necks, but still comfortable and easy to navigate for most players.

Basswood offers a different tonal character – it's more balanced and resonant than ash or alder, but lacks some of their inherent character. It's a great choice for versatility and a lighter feel.

While they're vintage-style, these machine heads are generally reliable. However, going significantly beyond the included .009-.042 gauge might require more frequent adjustments.
