Frequently Asked Questions

The black walnut fingerboard will feel slightly softer than rosewood or ebony, requiring careful setup for optimal playability. Expect a bit more 'zing' and a quicker response.
While the preamp is off, the passive humbuckers are serviceable, but you might notice a bit more inherent hum – typical of budget-friendly active/passive designs.
Yes, the 'Modern D' profile is relatively slim and comfortable, offering a good balance between speed and stability; it's not a thick vintage C shape.
