Frequently Asked Questions
The varying scale lengths allow for optimized string tension across all six strings, resulting in a more even feel and a wider tonal palette, particularly noticeable in the higher register.
The pickups are mounted using standard screws, making them replaceable, although modifications might require some soldering experience due to the integrated EMG electronics.
The natural finish allows the wood's natural resonance to be more prominent, but it’s porous and prone to scratches and fingerprints; regular cleaning and occasional oiling are recommended to preserve its appearance and protect the wood.
