The ash body is highly porous and needs at least two coats of grain filler to achieve a smooth finish, whilst the intricate curves demand careful attention to avoid paint drips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAssembly is more complex than a bolt-on design, as the RK features a set-in neck that must be perfectly aligned, checked for scale length and string action, and glued in place, an irreversible step. The hard ash wood also requires pre-drilling before screwing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWiring is made easy with a solderless system, and whilst the bridge must be accurately positioned, the process remains approachable. For sound and playability, the non-removable neck emphasises the importance of accurate preparation, but the high-mass bridge provides full adjustability for intonation and string height, the nut is easily replaceable, and the lack of neck inclination helps streamline the string action setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"tgf-h3\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid ash for durability and resonance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Canadian maple with Rosewood fretboard and white trapeze inlays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome bass hardware, including pre-wired components and a white pickguard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrefer a clean look?
