Frequently Asked Questions
Indian Laurel is generally a bit harder and smoother than rosewood, offering a slightly faster feel, but the difference is subtle at this price point.
The 'C' shaped neck is fairly standard, but the short scale can feel cramped for those with bigger hands – try it out if possible.
No, the smaller size and budget pickups mean a less complex and powerful tone, but it still captures the core Stratocaster character.
