Frequently Asked Questions
The tuner is surprisingly accurate and easy to use, even on moderately loud stages – a real convenience.
The satin-finished 'U' shape neck is generally comfortable, though it's not as slim as some Ibanez models; it's a good middle ground.
The finish adds character but requires a bit more care to prevent cosmetic issues; a simple coat of wax can help protect it.
