Highlights & specs:
POPLAR BODY
Poplar has a very neutral tone making it a great option for a multitude of sonic applications.
ONE PIECE MAPLE BOLT-ON NECK
Increased sustain and stability.
9"-16" COMPOUND RADIUS MAPLE FINGERBOARD
Jackson pioneered the use of the innovative compound radius design, in which the fingerboard gradually flattens toward the heel from its more rounded profile at the nut. This makes for comfortable and natural-feeling chording and riffing near the nut, with optimal articulation and bending nearer the heel.
