Frequently Asked Questions
The 22mm/24mm thickness at the 1st and 12th frets suggests a slightly more substantial feel than a typical PRS neck, offering more grip for players with larger hands.
They offer nuanced EQ shaping, primarily tweaking mid-range frequencies – subtle but useful for tailoring the tone to different playing situations and amps.
While PRS parts are generally accessible, finding specific replacements for the zirikote fingerboard or Chaltecoco neck might prove challenging down the road.
