Frequently Asked Questions
The NeoPunch is voiced for more clarity and less muddiness than many split coils, offering a more defined and articulate low-end.
Rosewood grain can vary, but this model will likely have a medium-dark rosewood, which complements the Candy Apple Red nicely and offers a comfortable playing experience.
While PLEK primarily focuses on fret accuracy and leveling, the precision it achieves contributes to improved vibration transfer and a slight increase in perceived sustain.
