Frequently Asked Questions
The fixed pedal and fine tuner system provides excellent tuning stability, minimizing drift during performances compared to some older designs, although regular maintenance is still key.
Copper is softer than steel, so careful handling and proper padding in the Rockbag covers are crucial to prevent dents and scratches during transport.
The 'FS' designation indicates a 'Full Size' model, generally signifying the highest quality construction and finish, along with the inclusion of the fine tuner and other premium features.
