Its slim profile makes it easy to move across all 22 frets, while the smooth satin finish enhances playability for fast transitions and fluid movement. From tight rhythm parts to expressive solos, the neck feels instantly familiar and responsive.
Versatile pickup configuration
With a Dynamix P pickup in the neck and a Dynamix J in the bridge, the GSR200 offers a broad tonal range. You can dial in warm, punchy lows from the P-style or switch to the J-style for brighter articulation. Blending both pickups gives you a balanced, dynamic tone that suits everything from classic rock to modern funk.

The onboard Phat II EQ provides a built-in active bass boost that thickens your sound on demand. It's perfect for adding weight during live sets or recording, giving your tone more depth and authority. Just a quick turn of the knob delivers a fuller, more powerful presence in the mix.
Stable hardware with solid tuning
