Ebony fretboard with 24 X-Jumbo stainless steel frets and a 12"-16" compound radius ensures smooth, consistent tracking across the fingerboard, while Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side dot markers and Graph Tech XL Black Tusq nut provide practical visibility and solid tonal foundation for direct recording.
