Frequently Asked Questions
The Broad'Tron is generally thicker and more compressed than a P-90, with a more refined mid-range and less raw edge – still plenty of grit though.
The soft 'C' profile is generally comfortable, but the 12” scale and narrower nut width (42.9mm) might feel a bit snug for those with very large hands.
The high-gloss finish looks great but is susceptible to scratches and chips, especially around the edges – a careful setup and a good case are recommended.
