Guided by Balance
A 3.5° break angle paired with a Fender-style drop
Similar to the Foundation Series, it features graduated break angles, moving naturally from low to high strings. The result is a Uniform, and responsive playing experience , with a slightly tighter feel than its counterpart.
It utilizes individual bridge pieces reducing crosstalk at the saddles.
- Increased downward pressure on the treble strings
- Reduced pressure on the bass strings
- Ergonomic
This makes Concision Series ideal for alternate tunings, extended ranges, and multiscale layouts,
