Frequently Asked Questions
It's a comfortable 'C' shape, slightly thinner than a traditional vintage Fender neck but not as slim as a modern Ibanez – a good middle ground.
It’s genuinely useful; the ‘focus’ function tightens the low end, cleaning up the P90s for a more articulate sound.
The Sunset Burst is a nitro finish, so it will develop a nice patina over time, but it’s not as thick as a poly finish and requires care to avoid scratches and chips.
