Frequently Asked Questions
The varying scale lengths optimize string tension, resulting in a more even feel and improved intonation, particularly noticeable when playing complex lines and fast passages.
Active mode utilizes the Darkglass electronics for a more aggressive, sculpted sound, while Passive mode offers a more classic, rounder tone with less extreme EQ capabilities.
The finish is durable but attracts fingerprints easily; regular cleaning with a microfiber cloth is recommended to maintain its appearance.
