Frequently Asked Questions
It's likely a 'C' shape, fairly standard and comfortable, but slightly thinner than some of Jackson's vintage-inspired necks.
The finish is a basic gloss, and while it’s adequate, it’s not as thick or robust as higher-end finishes – be mindful of impacts.
While it *can* be used for other genres, the high-output pickups and aggressive tone are definitely geared towards heavier styles; cleaner tones will be limited.
