data-end=\"881\"\u003eThe JB640 is built around a dual 6-string layout, allowing you to treat the instrument as two separate voices or one expanded platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"883\" data-end=\"1025\"\u003eEach set of six strings has:\u003cbr\u003e• independent volume and tone controls\u003cbr data-start=\"950\" data-end=\"953\"\u003e• individual pickup switching\u003cbr

Australian Blackwood or African Walnut (depending on availability), offering a smooth feel and balanced response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1638\" data-end=\"1733\"\u003eEvery detail
