Frequently Asked Questions
The semi-hollow construction tames some of the resonance of a full-hollow, providing more feedback resistance while retaining a good amount of warmth and airiness.
While designed with jazz and blues in mind, the Ceramic pickups handle moderate rock tones surprisingly well, though high-gain distortion might reveal their limitations.
The 43mm nut width and shorter scale length might feel a bit snug for players with very large hands, but most will find it perfectly playable.
