Another solid feature is the compound fretboard radius, which starts out at 10 inches near the headstock and graduates to 14 inches down at the body, setting both rhythm and lead guitarists up with satisfying playing comfort.Detailed BuildWhat sets apart a great guitar from a superb guitar are the details and the finish.
