Premium Hardware for Reliable Performance
Every component of the PBS-M is designed for durability and performance. The sealed guitar-style tuners provide precise tuning stability, while the ZeroGlide nut ensures optimal string alignment and reduced friction. The chrome-plated hardware not only adds to the guitar’s sleek look but also offers long-lasting protection against wear and tear. Additionally, the maple bridge with an ebony insert contributes to the instrument's rich, balanced sound.
