Final check
Know before you order
- 01The supplied data conflicts on the finish: the title says Blood Orange Burst, while the description refers to a transparent black burst.
- 02The supplied data conflicts on pickup magnet type: the description says alnico 5, while the specifications say ceramic.
- 03Spalted maple grain varies, so no two instruments will look exactly alike.
