Frequently Asked Questions
It's a bit more focused and direct; the smaller body and humbuckers reduce some of the airy resonance of a larger Broadkaster, but still retains its core character.
The 'U' profile is a traditional shape; it's comfortable for many, but those preferring a thinner 'C' or 'D' shape may find it a bit bulkier.
The B7GP is well-integrated, and the Gotoh locking tuners help, but extreme whammy abuse will still require occasional adjustments.
