CONS

Frequently Asked Questions

The neck angle isn't pre-set; it's something you'll need to address carefully during the neck attachment process, using shims if necessary.
A lacquer or polyurethane finish will work well, but you'll likely need to sand the primer smooth for a flawless result. Be aware that the primer might slightly affect the color of your chosen stain.
They can be usable for recording, but you’ll likely want to experiment with EQ and compression to tame the high-midrange and add clarity. They're definitely on the hotter side.
