Frequently Asked Questions
The Wilkinson tremolo is surprisingly stable and smooth for its price point, offering decent range without excessive tuning drift – a good compromise.
The narrow C profile is comfortable for most, but players with larger hands might find it a little slender; it’s best to try it if possible.
The Bedford demonstrates solid build quality; Grover tuners and the ebony fingerboard are a testament to the attention to detail, aligning well with its premium-priced positioning.
