The Vater Jay Weinberg 908 is in between a 5A and 5B for a comfortable grip. It adds 1/4" length for some added reach. The 908 has a quick taper for a slight forward throw but with a fast response.
American maple wood - Wooden tips - The 5B model comes with a reinforced neck for more power and more durability - With "acorn" tip for a significantly fuller sound - VH5BW.
