Due to the increased scale length on the bass side, the tension of the strings increases. We recommend you try dropping a gauge on the bottom end, for example, if you usually use 9-46’s, try 9-42’s. To learn more about Multiscale, please view our information page here.
Body dimensions (thickness): 38mm Goliath GTR. For comparison, Jacksons, Ibanez RG, Fender Strats, etc are generally 47mm.

The bridges are custom made for us to exacting tolerances by our partners at Hipshot USA, using a variety of materials proven for longevity and tone.
