Fingerboard Radius
10" - 16"
Fret Size
The frets are Nickel and are wide, medium height, with a flattened pyramid shape. Nickel preferred over steel as it has a slightly sweeter tone and the medium profile ensures you’re hearing more of the fingerboard while also not pushing the note out of tune…like some taller fretwire.
Nut
45mm (1 3/4")
Width at the last fret
76mm (3")
Neck Construction
3 Pc Quater-Sawn Maple
Neck Carve
Modern shape….slightly thin to medium with an asymmetrical carve where the treble side carve is a little more aggressive from the centre of the neck to the fingerboard edge. This makes for a faster feel while still keeping thick enough for comfort to avoid premature hand cramping

Two-way truss rod with a 4mm wrench

Pickup

Pickup Modes (Switches)
Single-Coil (middle toggle position): Of all the modes, this produces the brightest and most open tone with the quickest attack. In comparison to the standard BN series, these singles are a little leaner and a touch warmer. Series Humbucking (down toggle position): Produces the highest output and a much thicker, darker, and more compressed tone. Parallel Humbucking (up toggle position): Produces a slightly thicker tone than the articulate single-coil mode without any of the 60 cycle hum.
Controls
First Row: Neck Volume, Bridge Volume (push for single-coil, pull for hum-cancelling), Master Tone (push for active, pull for passive) Second Row: Bass Boost, Mid Boost, Treble Boost 2x Three-way toggle switches to select the pickup mode for the neck and bridge pickups
