- • The hardtail bridge provides reliable tuning stability and a focused resonance.
CONS
- • The ABS nut can feel a bit plasticky and may benefit from an upgrade later.
- • Poplar body, while functional, lacks the sustain of mahogany or alder.
- • The 400mm radius fingerboard is quite flat, not ideal for all playing styles.
