Frequently Asked Questions
The 356mm radius is moderately rounded, making it more forgiving than some very flat fretless fingerboards, but still requires careful technique.
The sidelines are subtle and designed to aid with intonation, but some players may notice them slightly during fast runs.
Aged nickel develops a unique patina with use, but it’s softer than chrome and may require occasional polishing to prevent excessive wear.
