Frequently Asked Questions
It's slightly wider than many electric guitar necks, but the flamed maple offers a comfortable, familiar feel, especially for guitarists adapting to banjo playing.
While designed for a more powerful sound, the PTS head is reasonably responsive, though a thinner head might offer more nuance for truly delicate fingerstyle work.
Intonation is generally good, but may require slight adjustments depending on string gauge and playing style – a common trait with longer scale instruments.
