Frequently Asked Questions
The 'C' profile is generally comfortable, but a bit more substantial than a vintage Gibson neck – a bit more modern, but not overly thick.
Yes, the Artec pickups are surprisingly clean and articulate at lower volumes, making them suitable for jazz, though they also handle overdrive well.
While the finish might not be flawless, the overall construction is solid and on par with other Harley Benton instruments in this price range – a very good value.
