Frequently Asked Questions
The relicing is primarily cosmetic, but the thinner finish from the aging process *can* allow the wood to breathe a bit more, potentially contributing to slightly enhanced resonance.
The neck profile is a vintage-style 'U' shape, which might feel a little thicker than modern 'C' shapes; it's generally comfortable, but players with very large hands should try it first.
The Synchro-Sonic is designed for improved sustain and better tuning stability due to its more robust construction and string-through body design.
