Frequently Asked Questions
The slim taper is more modern than a true '50s profile, but still retains a comfortable feel and allows for easier chording and faster playing.
Rosewood is generally stable, but humidity changes can cause slight movement; a professional setup every few years is a good preventative measure.
String changes are quick, but intonation adjustments are more limited compared to a traditional tune-o-matic setup – minor tweaks are possible but major changes are difficult.
