Thank you for visiting. The head is a Jazzmaster. This is just my amateur opinion, but there is no warping in the head. I think Fred has plenty of room to play. The headphone amplifier properly controls both volume and tone, and can also produce a crackling sound. If you would like, we can also include a tuner (which has been used a few times), so please feel free to comment. Stand is not included. I don’t know much about guitars, so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to answer all your questions, but I’ll try my best to answer them. International Buyers – Please Note. Thank you for your understanding. If you have any questions, please send us a message at anytime.
