Build Considerations
- Beginner-friendly assembly: bolt-on neck with no inclination eases alignment.
- Finishing: mahogany is slightly porous and may require some grain filling; maple neck typically requires none. Sharp body contours demand careful painting to avoid orange peel.
- Tremolo bridge adds steps for accurate positioning and setup; individual intonation and string height adjustments available.
- Solderless wiring streamlines electronics installation.
