The extended 26.5" scale length (673 mm) ensures a precise representation of every note played thanks to the increased string tension, while the classic set-neck construction with mahogany body, maple top and maple neck supports the punchy sound character. The grippy "Wide Thin" profile and the flat 20" radius (508 mm) of the ebony fingerboard also create the best conditions for implementing the most modern playing techniques.
