comfort, provides better feel, reduces fatigue and provides a higher level of
durability. -
High Quality Ten Fret Button

Rockband. -

scoring. -

Forward – Thinking Compatibility –
Starpex’s modular design allows users to easily separate the electronic
components from the body of the guitar which will allow for further
customization including new guitar bodies, pick guards, and more.
