Accurate intonation

Neck receiver and octave key system
The neck receiver is equipped with a nickel silver adjustable tightening ring for better positioning, while the 3-point concentric tightening system ensures a secure fit between the neck and body, this ensures that you can achieve great intonation and that no energy is lost between neck and body. The octave key system, supported by Teflon, provides smoother mechanical action, reducing wear and noise.
