Frequently Asked Questions
The ES-B is an earlier system; it's not as nuanced as ES2, but it's still very functional and sounds quite natural for its price point.
The Academy Series necks are generally medium-slim, offering a comfortable feel for most hand sizes, but it's not as chunky as some other guitars.
Layered wood is very stable and resistant to changes in humidity; it's built to withstand regular playing and travel without cracking or warping.
