Frequently Asked Questions
The 'C' profile is a fairly standard, comfortable shape – not too thin or chunky, similar to many American-style guitars, though perhaps slightly more rounded.
They lean towards the higher end of the spectrum; expect a good amount of output and distortion, but they aren't overly muddy or compressed – still usable for rhythm playing.
The high-gloss finish is decent, but it's on the thinner side; be mindful of impacts to avoid chipping, especially around the edges.
