Frequently Asked Questions
It’s generally a bit thinner and more C-shaped than a typical vintage Fender neck, making it feel quite accessible and fast.
While they’re versatile, the Roswell HAFs are more suited for classic rock and blues; high-gain metal tones will sound muddy and lacking definition.
Yes, bolt-on necks generally offer less sustain than set-neck constructions, but the string-thru-body design helps compensate for this somewhat.
