The neck is Maple wood bolt-on with 24 jumbo frets. It has an interesting design in that the fingerboard is quite wide all the way from top to bottom. In fact, it feels as much like an acoustic guitar spacing as it does an electric instrument. It has a bound Amaranth fingerboard with the instantly recognizable shark fin inlays. Amaranth is a hardwood that comes from the forests of Brazil.
The neck is rounded off a little towards the nut. This makes chord playing a little easier. The radius flattens as you come down towards the body. This enables faster runs and more extreme string bends. It certainly is a very slick neck. For stability, the neck is graphite-reinforced.
This is a neck that is designed to be played fast. This guitar is an entry-level instrument for a young player, and as such, the neck feels easy to play. But all the attributes are there in the neck to create the feel of a real ‘metal’ weapon.
