Frequently Asked Questions
V-Class bracing creates more even response across the strings and increases sustain, resulting in a more complex and nuanced tone compared to traditional bracing patterns.
The Firestripe pickguard is primarily aesthetic, but it does offer a degree of protection to the spruce top from pick scratches.
The neck profile is generally described as a comfortable, mid-oval shape, offering a balance between a slim feel and good hand support – a sweet spot for many players.
