Frequently Asked Questions
At 665mm, it’s a bit shorter than a standard guitar scale (around 648mm), making it feel slightly easier to reach notes, but still familiar for guitarists.
The Remo Weatherking head is pre-stretched, but expect to do a full tuning and potentially some minor adjustments over the first few days of playing.
The build is good for the price; expect solid construction but with some cost-saving measures in hardware and finish compared to premium-priced instruments.
