Frequently Asked Questions

The varying scale lengths reduce string tension, making lower strings easier to fret and improving overall intonation consistency across the extended range.
They are generally considered a sealed unit, though Fishman does offer some repair and service options directly – replacement isn't a typical DIY job.
The multi-laminate construction of the neck-through design offers excellent stability, but proper humidity control is always recommended for any high-end instrument.
