Frequently Asked Questions
The Evertune system excels with drop tunings, maintaining stability even with significant tension changes; it minimizes the need for constant adjustments.
The neck profile is a modern 'C' shape, generally comfortable, but the 54mm nut width might feel a bit wide for those with very small hands.
The finish looks fantastic, but it's a bit more porous than a gloss finish, so it will show fingerprints and minor wear more easily – regular cleaning is recommended.
