Frequently Asked Questions
The Vari-Mid allows you to sweep the mid-frequency, offering much more precise tonal sculpting and a wider range of sounds than a fixed mid-band.
It has a satin finish that's smooth but provides a surprisingly good grip; it's not overly slippery like some highly polished necks.
Headless designs often contribute to enhanced sustain due to the increased body resonance and lack of headstock dampening, although this is also influenced by the wood choices.
