Frequently Asked Questions
It offers a more detailed and nuanced level of control than many, particularly with the mid-frequency sweep, allowing for precise tonal sculpting.
The 305 mm (12 in) radius is a fairly standard, comfortable fretless radius; it's not overly flat, which is good for feel and intonation.
The sustain is respectable, but a neck-through construction would generally offer more resonance and sustain; it’s a tradeoff for the more affordable price point.
