Frequently Asked Questions
The neck is a comfortable, modern 'C' shape – not too thin, not too thick – providing a good balance for speed and sustain, similar to what you'd find on guitars costing significantly more.
Absolutely. They provide exceptional tuning stability, especially important for lower tunings common in heavier genres, and make string changes much quicker.
Alder is generally well-behaved, but at very high volumes you might experience some feedback, as with any solid-body guitar; proper amp EQ and technique will mitigate this.
