1-Piece Maple Neck With 7.25”-Radius Maple Fingerboard And 21 Vintage Tall Frets

Vintage-accurate construction is delivered by the 1-piece maple neck with 7.25"-radius maple fingerboard, while vintage tall frets provide slightly more height than vintage for enhanced playability and classic comfort.
