Alder body	Light weight with a wide tonal range
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.

Three-piece maple neck	Bright tone, snappy response

Overview
