Playability is Slick, Fast, and Easy,with the Palisander board being quite hard and beautiful...The Guitar has a neck that is shaped with a very slight "V"
which makes chording and Lead playing effortless...The Basswood suppliments the Maple providing a thick soniclly rich Tone with basically endless sustain....Action is Low and perfect with no fretting out.
