Solid mahogany top	Warm tone with long sustain
Mahogany back and sides	Dry and airy tone; clear, present midrange
Ovangkol fretboard	Smooth feel; brighter top end with full midrange
25.5-inch scale neck	Increases string tension for tighter bottom end	25.5-inch scale neck Commonly found on Fenders and a huge variety of other guitars, the 25.5" scale is longer than the 24.75" scale typical of Les Paul-style guitars. A longer scale generally means tighter string tension, leading to more focused tone with sharper attack.

Verified Purchaser zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.

I bought this through zZounds. Fast shipping and the guitar was in immaculate and super playable right out of the box. No complaints about the guitar at all. Sounds wonderful and really is a beautiful instrument. The she size just isn’t for me. Long arms slim tall frame it just feels like it’s too much work to get comfortable playing for me personally.
