Frequently Asked Questions
The joint is designed to minimize impact, but it's undeniable that it slightly dampens resonance compared to a traditional neck joint. Sustain is respectable given the scale length, but don't expect a full-size guitar's projection.
Richlite is quite durable, but prolonged use with aggressive playing styles *could* lead to some surface wear. It's generally more resistant than some other composites, though.
The coil-split pickups offer a surprisingly clean, single-coil tone at lower volumes. They exhibit a moderate amount of hum typical of humbuckers, but it's manageable with standard noise reduction techniques.
