Build Guidance
- Bolt-on neck with no inclination and pre-drilled control pot holes simplifies assembly; verify scale length during bridge positioning.
- Mahogany is slightly porous and may need minimal grain filler; take care around the V-shape to avoid finish drips.
- Tune-o-Matic bridge allows precise intonation and action adjustment; removable nut supports customisation.
