Frequently Asked Questions
The ash provides a warmer, slightly more mellow tone than mahogany, with a bit less 'snap' but more overall body.
The basswood neck has a fairly standard 'C' shape profile, which is generally comfortable, but those with very large hands might find it slightly snug.
The individual machine heads are a step up from basic geared tuners, offering improved accuracy and stability, though don't expect high-end smoothness.
