Ideal for intermediate builders. Mahogany is slightly porous and may need light grain filling. The set-in neck has no inclination; perform an initial string action check before gluing, as this step is irreversible.
Wiring is simplified by a solderless system. Bridge posts are pre-drilled; measuring is still recommended. The tune-o-matic trapeze bridge supports overall intonation and string action adjustments. The nut can be removed for customisation. Lack of neck inclination simplifies initial setup.
