The neck features a Soft V profile, offering a comfortable and slim feel that’s perfect for both rhythm and lead playing.

The alder body is finished in Black Polyurethane, which has aged beautifully, retaining a clean and glossy appearance. It weighs in at a balanced 8 lbs, offering great resonance and sustain.
