Designed with traditional styling, the Sonus achieves a perfect balance of classic characteristics.The wenge/eucalyptus top offers a luxurious and striking contrast to the appearance of the instrument, with an added strength from these two hard woods. The Zon Sonus body features a deep cutaway, which encourages playing up the double-octave fretboard. The 34" scale, 12" radius, and 1-5/8" nut width provide comfort for intricate bass licks.
