Chrome die-cast tuners provide reliable tuning stability, while the ovangkol bridge and headcap add durability and elegance.
- Finish and Aesthetics: The glossy Natural finish highlights the wood’s natural beauty, complemented by a pearloid rosette and dot inlays for a refined, classic look that shines on stage.
