Frequently Asked Questions
The neck is a comfortable, medium-C profile—not too thick, not too thin—designed for accessibility across a range of playing styles.
Nitro finishes are softer than modern poly finishes, so it’s best to avoid abrasive polishes and store it in a case to prevent scratches.
The .010-.047 gauge offers a balanced feel and a bright, articulate tone, but might require a setup adjustment for some players preferring lighter strings.
