The mahogany neck, paired with a rosewood fretboard and adorned with Dunlop 6105 nickel-steel frets and square block Pearloid inlays, ensures superior playability. The Medium C neck profile, tapering from 0.84 to 0.95 inches with a consistent 12-inch radius, facilitates smooth navigation along the fretboard.
