Frequently Asked Questions

Caramelization darkens and hardens the maple, resulting in a smoother feel and a subtle increase in high-frequency response – it’s a nice upgrade over a standard maple neck.
Yes, they’re standard single-coil size and easily swapped, though the custom windings are quite good for the price, so an upgrade isn't essential.
The longer scale provides a slightly deeper, rounder tone and a bit more string tension; it's a good option if you prefer a warmer, more mellow sound or like a more relaxed feel.
