Nylon strings work beautifully on the fretless ebony fingerboard, producing a singing tone that has a lot in common with that of a fretless bass. It's easy to play due to the nylon strings, which respond well to a light touch and are slightly more forgiving than steel strings when it comes to intonation. The chambered mahogany body with a solid spruce top produces impeccable tone. The added possibilities provided by the onboard 13-pin synth access put this guitar over the top.
