Frequently Asked Questions
The semi-hollow construction adds warmth and airiness, creating a more complex, resonant tone with a slight 'bloom' compared to the more focused sound of a solid body.
The fretboard is intentionally unvarnished, offering a very dry, fast feel. It will naturally darken and develop a slight sheen with use and handling, but it won't become glossy like a finished board.
While the maple body helps, some neck dive is present, particularly when standing. A good strap and proper setup are crucial for comfortable playability.
