Frequently Asked Questions
HVX increases shell resonance and projection, resulting in a more open, powerful tone with enhanced attack.
It’s a beautiful finish, but requires more care; expect stick marks and consider a clear coat for heavy use.
The Collector’s Series will have a more refined, complex tone with greater dynamic range, but the Performance Series offers excellent value for the sound.
