Frequently Asked Questions
The 60s C profile is a comfortable middle ground – not as thin as a 50s neck, but not as chunky as some 70s designs, offering a familiar feel for many players.
The medium jumbo frets provide a good balance: enough to be comfortable for bending without being too large or unwieldy.
The gloss finish, while attractive, is susceptible to scratches and chips like any gloss finish; a little care will go a long way.
