Precision Components for Playability and Sound

A high-mass die-cast bridge efficiently transfers string vibrations for rich tone and sustain. 18mm string spacing offers comfortable playability for any technique. Straight string pull from nut to tuner reduces overtones and improves tuning stability. A 43 mm nut width gives fast, comfortable playability.
