Frequently Asked Questions
The 'inCin' profile is generally thinner and flatter than a traditional C, offering faster playing and a more modern feel – it’s designed for comfort and speed.
While they're fluorescent, they are side markers only and won’t illuminate the entire fretboard. They’re visible in low light, but not a replacement for a fully illuminated fretboard.
Like all ebony, it's susceptible to changes in humidity, but Solar uses a stable grade and finish to minimize that risk – proper care and storage are always recommended.
