This Beta6 is incredibly lightweight, and featured the deluxe J body, it is incredibly comfortable to play even as a 6 strings. The weight is perfectly balanced without a hint of any neck dive, the neck is incredibly slim, very flat fingerboard allowing for easier technical playing. Being a custom model is does not use any titanium support rods, instead the neck wood is selected from the best of their stock. It’s much more stable and retain resonance better than rodded necks.
