Frequently Asked Questions
It's a comfortable, moderately thin profile, similar to Jackson's 'Modern C' but with a slightly more refined feel due to the Caramelized Maple.
Like any glossy finish, it requires care. While the finish is durable, it's susceptible to scratches, so a good quality case and careful handling are recommended.
The longer scale requires slightly more finger stretch on the lower strings; it's manageable with practice, but be prepared for a bit of an adjustment initially.
