Frequently Asked Questions
The HPL top produces a more focused, less complex tone; it's brighter and more immediate but lacks the warmth and dynamic range of solid wood.
The neck has a standard 'C' shape with a 1.75" nut width, which is generally comfortable, but players with very large hands might find it slightly snug.
Richlite is exceptionally durable and resistant to humidity changes, meaning it's less prone to cracking or warping than ebony and requires less maintenance.
