Frequently Asked Questions
The multiscale design minimizes string tension inconsistencies, generally improving tuning stability compared to a uniform scale length, especially with 8 strings.
While thin, the neck isn't overly narrow; most players with average to larger hands will find it comfortable, though those preferring a thicker profile might need to adjust.
They’re designed for aggressive tones; expect a tight, articulate, and high-output sound that handles high-gain amps exceptionally well, though it might be too saturated for cleaner styles.
