Frequently Asked Questions
It's a comfortable, relatively slim 'C' profile, slightly thicker than a vintage '60s neck, offering a good balance for fast playing and comfortable chording.
The Super Jumbo frets require a bit of getting used to, and may feel bulky for players with very small hands, but most will find them manageable and contribute to easier bending.
The high-gloss finish is beautiful but requires care; it's susceptible to scratches and fingerprints, so regular polishing is recommended to maintain its appearance.
