Frequently Asked Questions
The modern 'C' profile is noticeably thinner and more comfortable than the often thicker 'oval C' found on vintage models, offering a faster playing experience.
While not high-output, the Alnico 5 pickups provide plenty of punch and clarity for funk and lighter metal styles; a more aggressive tone would require external overdrive.
Rosewood is generally stable, but it's common for new instruments to require a fret leveling; this is easily addressed by a qualified technician.
