SS500 features a thicker body compared to other Artcore models, measuring in at 80 mm, and a solid arched top and back to produce a richer, more resonant tone.
The SS500 body width measures in at 381mm/15" This, coupled with the 22 frets, add together perfectly for clear tone and deep hollow-body resonance.
Extra treatment on the fret edges adds more comfort and playability to the SS500 and SJ500.
The rosewood bridge is originally installed on the SS500 and SJ500 models. It is switchable with the included ART-1 bridge, depending on the player's taste.
