- • Push/pull coil split adds versatility, covering humbucker and single-coil tones.
CONS
- • The bolt-on neck, while stable, lacks the warmth and resonance of a set neck.
- • Rosewood fingerboard may not appeal to players preferring maple or other alternatives.
- • Tremolo system, while functional, can benefit from upgraded components for tuning stability.
