Neck
The new 62 style neck has been designed for improved tone and response.

Key guard
The separate key guards feature adjustable screw cap stoppers for professional-style technical adjustments.

Left-hand seesaw key
The left-hand seesaw key has been designed to increase playability as well as provide a more comfortable feel.

Improved Low B-C# connection
