Frequently Asked Questions

The Legacy preamp offers a more modern, refined sound with improved clarity and dynamic range compared to older Spectors, and its EQ is particularly responsive.
The neck profile is relatively standard, with a thickness around 23.1mm at the 1st fret, which is generally comfortable, though those with very small hands might find it a touch thick.
Regular application of a high-quality furniture polish designed for natural finishes will protect the burl and maintain its luster; avoid harsh chemicals.
