Frequently Asked Questions
The medium C is a comfortable, familiar profile, slightly fuller than some of the thinner Kramer necks but not overly chunky – a good middle ground for most players.
They do have a characteristic high-gain 'bite', but aren't excessively microphonic. They handle lower tunings exceptionally well, retaining clarity and aggression.
The build quality is very solid; the hardware feels robust, and the fretwork is generally well-executed, representing a good value proposition.
