Frequently Asked Questions
The New Zealand pine fretboard is generally brighter than rosewood, offering a snappier attack and more clarity – a good match for the pickups' output.
The neck has a fairly standard, slim profile which suits a wide range of hand sizes, but it's not particularly thick – something to consider if you prefer a chunkier feel.
Absolutely, the standard pickup route allows for easy pickup upgrades, opening up a wider range of tonal possibilities down the road.
