Specially adjusted for Elrick NJS, the bridge offers string loading from the back of the bridge for easier operation as well as greater tuning stability and focused sound. Another big improvement for the tone transfer is the deep individual slots that hold the saddles rock-tight, preventing any unwanted movement and allows string vibrations to correctly transfer to the body. MetalCraft M4 and M5 now come with string spacing of 19㎜(0.750”) for the 4-string M4, and 18㎜(0.708”) for the 5-string M5.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box_wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box box_L_b pc_img\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tit roboto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e“Heel-less” Body Design with Extended Treble Access\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt\"\u003eA unique feature to Elrick NJS, the neck joint is greatly reduced to facilitate easy access to the upper register of the fingerboard.
