Frequently Asked Questions

The single coils offer a more focused and vintage tone, with less muddiness and more clarity compared to the thicker sound of a typical split-coil.
The 19.5mm/21.5mm thickness at the 1st and 12th fret suggests a comfortable C-shape profile that should accommodate most hand sizes, though those preferring a thinner neck may find it slightly more substantial.
Gotoh tuners are known for their quality and reliability; they offer smooth operation and stable tuning. Replacement parts are widely available through most music stores and online retailers.
