This is an innovative neck design that updates the existing CNR neck system. Its most notable feature is the ability to adjust the neck angle using a string height adjustment bolt located on the neck block, allowing for string height adjustments without having to file down the saddle. Furthermore, the improved neck rigidity and stability compared to the previous system allow for longer-term playability and stability. *To safely adjust the neck angle using this bolt, specialized tools and the skills of a qualified technician are required. Please consult with the acoustic floor staff at Ikebe Musical Instruments Store.Top: AA Solid Western Red Ceder Back and Sides: AA Solid African Mahogany Neck: African Mahogany Bracing: Scalloped X Bracing Nut Width: 45mm Fingerboard: Ebony Bridge: Ebony Scale Length: 650mm Tuner: Furch Original Includes Furch original gig bag.
