Jatoba Fingerboard

Jatoba is a very dense and stiff wood that makes it ideal for the fingerboard usage. Jatoba produces strong fundamentals and volume projection with an emphasis on the high-mids.

Both comfort and appearance was enhanced with an elegantly contoured arm cut on the top. This modification to the top has been carefully laid out on the bodies of the Action Basses for maximum comfort without removing unnecessary amounts of wood.
