Frequently Asked Questions
The piezo is blended via a dedicated tone control, allowing for subtle acoustic enhancement or a more pronounced acoustic voice, offering significant tonal flexibility.
The neck is a modern 'C' shape, relatively slim, but with a decent width to accommodate the 5-string spacing; it's generally comfortable, but players with very large hands might prefer a more substantial feel.
While the bolt-on construction slightly reduces overall sustain compared to neck-through designs, the maple body and carefully selected woods still provide a respectable level of resonance and projection.
