Born to Rock’s patented design relies on a lightweight aluminum tube frame that holds the strings at tension over a tension-free neck, which avoids the warping associated with wooden instruments. The open, skeletal design has no conventional headstock, and the tuners are mounted below the bridge at the bottom of the body.
Technical Description:
Hollow aluminum tube frame body, plexiglass neck and fingerboard; 34 in. scale; no-tension set neck with dot inlays anchored to body frame with pivot joint at nut; Precision bass-style split-coil pickup with volume and tone controls; “headless” construction, steel body-mounted tuners and knobs
