Based on the retro stylings of everyone's favorite 60's surf guitar and loaded with enhancements. (We like surf guitars around here). Like all our models, the XKE features our unique "Progressive Asymmetric" neck which is rounder by the nut and gets more asymmetric as it moves towards the heel. We also use pocketed fret slots, which make the fingerboard/neck stiffer and less prone to seasonal changes.
