Frequently Asked Questions
The Edge offers similar functionality but is generally considered more stable and easier to tune after use, with less extreme float.
No, the inlays are purely decorative and do not glow or have any luminescence.
The PIA profile is relatively slim and modern; players preferring a thicker neck might find it a bit thin, though the 20mm thickness at the 12th fret provides a good feel.
