Frequently Asked Questions
The Aguilar DCBs offer a tighter, more focused low-end response with a slightly more aggressive edge compared to Spector's standard offerings; it's a more modern voicing.
The 51mm nut width provides ample space for comfortable playing, even for those with larger hands, although the ebony fingerboard might feel a bit less 'grippy' than rosewood.
Expect a comprehensive warranty covering manufacturing defects and a detailed setup performed at the factory, with the possibility of further adjustments upon receipt to your preferences.
