Frequently Asked Questions
The high-gloss finish is durable but prone to swirl marks; a quality polish and careful handling will keep it looking pristine.
While they're open-gear, the tuners are surprisingly stable and hold tuning well, though a professional setup can always improve performance.
The semi-hollow construction results in a slightly tighter, more focused tone than a full hollow body, offering more clarity and less unwanted resonance.
