Frequently Asked Questions
It's a significant departure – much thicker and with more output. You lose some of that classic T-style twang, but gain a lot of punch and a more modern, rock-oriented sound.
It's a matter of preference; it's a very playable neck, but it won't offer the same resonance as a set neck. The action and feel are excellent, though, and the price reflects the construction method.
