And a great guitar for its price. Alder body (with flamed maple top on the transparent finishes), maple neck, compound-radius rosewood fretboard, jumbo frets, Floyd Rose-licensed double-locking tremolo, Duncan Designed Detonator humbuckers, volume/volume/tone with 3-way switching, and chrome hardware.Jackson's compound-radius fingerboard curves more dramatically at the nut for easy chording, and flattens out as it approaches the neck joint for low-action bends without fretting out. With a more relaxed hand, you'll play better!
