Overview
A truss rod in the neck adjusts the fingerboard relief on this electric cello, and the string height can be changed at the bridge. The body and neck are maple, with a sunburst finish.
The reason to buy is the pure electric design: no wolf tones, no feedback and a sound that comes entirely from the pickup, which suits looping and effects. The limit is that stands and straps are described as options and the fretting is unstated.
Who it's for
A cellist who plays amplified, loops or uses effects and wants freedom from feedback. Players who want the sound of an acoustic body, or who need a stated fretting layout, should look at another instrument.
Pros and cons
- Pure electric, no feedback
- Virtually no wolf tones
- Maple body and neck
- Truss rod adjustment
- Fretting not stated
- Stand and strap details vary by option
- Neck heel type left unspecified
Performance notes
All of the sound comes through the pickup, so nothing leaks to the audience, which makes looping and effects more effective. The maple body and graduated fingerboard shape tone and playability, and asymmetrical fingerboard relief eases playing across positions. Relief is adjusted at the truss rod and string height at the bridge.
