Frequently Asked Questions

Caramelization alters the wood's density, resulting in a noticeably smoother, more resonant feel and slightly improved stability against humidity changes.
This model features a floating tremolo, allowing for dive bombs and vibrato effects – though setup is crucial for optimal performance and tuning stability.
Roasted alder is typically more stable and has a slightly tighter grain structure, which can contribute to a more focused, articulate tone with a bit more sustain.
