Frequently Asked Questions

The longer scale requires a bit of getting used to; string tension is higher and the reach is greater, but it allows for tighter low-end response on the lower strings.
Yes, the pickup cavities are standard size, allowing for relatively straightforward swaps if you want to experiment with different pickup tones.
The Thin C profile is generally comfortable, but players with very small hands might find it a touch slim; those who prefer a thicker neck may want to try it in person first.
