Frequently Asked Questions
The fretwork is generally good for the price point, but might benefit from a professional leveling and polishing for optimal playability.
It’s functional, but don’t expect ultra-precise tremolo performance; it's best suited for subtle vibrato and occasional dive bombs, and will likely need periodic tuning.
The caramelization process imparts a slightly smoother feel and a subtle warmth to the neck, though the effect is subtle and largely cosmetic.
