MODERN "C"-SHAPED NECK WITH 9.5"-RADIUS FINGERBOARD AND MEDIUM JUMBO FRETS

The Modern "C"-shaped neck delivers a comfortable playing experience with its smooth, ergonomic profile. The 9.5”-radius fingerboard with medium jumbo frets provides fast fretting and easy playability.

GREASEBUCKET™ TONE SYSTEM

The uniquely engineered Greasebucket™ Tone System tames treble frequencies without sacrificing gain or adding unwanted bass, preserving your carefully crafted sound. Unlike traditional tone controls, this sophisticated circuit maintains clarity and definition even when rolled back.
