What matters in use
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01
Dense and bright, leaning toward attack and clarity rather than the thick lower midrange of mahogany.
Detail 02
Stiff and stable, with a tighter, snappier response. Holds up well to seasonal humidity swings.
Detail 03
Whammy bar bends pitch down and back. Strings move over saddles, so tuning drifts more than a fixed bridge.
Detail 04
No feedback squeal at high gain and near-silent unplugged, which makes headphone practice workable.
Detail 05
Left-handed players cannot flip this — the bridge, nut, and controls are all cut for right hand.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Yes. Full scale, standard controls, and a familiar body shape. The tremolo adds a tuning variable a fixed bridge avoids.
Stretch new strings fully, wind them tidily on the posts, and lubricate the nut slots. Heavy whammy use will still pull it off.
Yes. A wood block behind the bridge block plus extra spring tension turns it into a fixed bridge and stabilizes tuning.
Full scale, unlike the short-scale Mikro. Fret spacing and string tension match a standard electric guitar.
