Frequently Asked Questions
It's a comfortable, moderately thin profile, similar to the Jackson Dinky, but perhaps slightly flatter – a good middle ground for various hand sizes.
The amaranth fretboard has a relatively smooth, oiled feel, not overly glossy like some maple boards, which some players prefer for faster playing.
While high-output, the pickups are reasonably quiet, but expect some inherent hum with extreme gain settings—common with hotter pickups.
