Frequently Asked Questions

It's a modern, slim profile with a subtle ergonomic shaping – faster than a 'C' shape, but not as flat as a 'D', making it comfortable for a wide range of hand sizes.
The coil split provides a usable, though somewhat thin, single-coil tone – more suited for rhythm playing than lead, but it adds some versatility for lighter genres.
The Evertune bridge adds a slight stiffness to the strings, but the tuning stability is exceptional, allowing for aggressive playing and low tunings without constant adjustments. It’s a worthwhile trade-off.
