A slender, easy-playing Action Control Neck™—new to this model—allows for quick, easy string height adjustments and boosts low-end resonance thanks to its long-tenon design. Under the hood, V-Class® bracing enhances projection, sustain and pitch accuracy, contributing to a robust voice that suits virtually any playing style or genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNew onboard Claria System electronics deliver predictable, stage- and studio-ready tone that’s easy to dial in for players and sound engineers alike.
