Strings: Primarily 7 strings, but modern, high-end, or specific experimental, custom designs might have varied layouts for specialized performances.
Bridge Design: Variations in the design of the bridge (main bridge for melody strings, secondary bridge for rhythm strings) exist, impacting the resonance
