Frequently Asked Questions
It's a refined version, offering a more nuanced frequency control allowing for finer adjustments to the mid-range – a significant upgrade from earlier models.
The 'C' profile is fairly standard and generally comfortable, but the 46mm nut width might feel a little snug for those with very large hands.
The wider 18mm string spacing on the Modern S bridge makes it easier to play complex 5-string passages without muting adjacent strings.
