Frequently Asked Questions
It’s closer to a vintage National than a modern one – more woody and less aggressively metallic, but still has plenty of drive.
The technical wood fretboard is generally smooth, but some players might find it slightly less polished than ebony or rosewood.
The build quality is surprisingly good; the neck is straight, the frets are well-seated, and the aged hardware is well-executed.
