Frequently Asked Questions
The feel is surprisingly good, though the fretboard isn’t quite as polished as some premium instruments; it’s playable and enjoyable right out of the box.
They are technically single coil designs, but Marcus Miller uses a unique construction technique that gives them a slightly fatter, more robust tone than traditional single coils.
The 'C' profile is generally comfortable, but the 38mm nut width and overall neck thickness might be a bit much for players with very small hands.
