Frequently Asked Questions

Splitting the P90s introduces a brighter, more chime-like single-coil tone, useful for cleaner styles or adding versatility.
The neck is a comfortable 'C' shape, but the 1.65 in nut width might feel a bit snug for players with very large hands; it's generally manageable though.
The build quality is solid for its category, with good fretwork and hardware; it won't match a high-end boutique guitar, but it's surprisingly well-made for the price.
