What You'll Love

The Monarkh is one of those guitars that just feels easy to play. The shorter scale gives you a slightly looser string feel, which is great for bends and longer sessions, while the compound radius neck makes both chords and lead playing feel natural. It has that thick, punchy humbucker tone you expect, but still cleans up nicely when you roll things back.
