Its 3-piece maple/walnut neck boasts a comfortable "C" profile, and its satin finish supplies the perfect blend of grip and ease of movement. Its 16-inch-radius fingerboard features 22 medium-jumbo frets. This silky smooth ebony fretboard enables comfortable chording while facilitating technically demanding leads.
