Frequently Asked Questions
The electronics are functional and adequate, but lack the nuanced EQ and pre-amp features found on more expensive Fender models; it's a good starting point though.
The slim 'C' profile is generally comfortable, but players accustomed to a chunkier neck might find it a bit too thin, though it's still very playable.
Yes, the phase control can help reduce unwanted feedback and improve clarity when mic'd, especially in louder environments; it's a useful tool to have.
