Frequently Asked Questions
The Legacy’s older-style bracing and solid rosewood construction generally produce a slightly warmer, more resonant tone than the modern 815, with a bit more vintage character.
The mahogany neck has a comfortable, slightly rounded profile that accommodates a wide range of hand sizes, though it's not a super-thin 'D' shape.
The Element VTC is known for its excellent feedback rejection, but careful EQ adjustments may still be necessary in very loud, amplified settings.
