Frequently Asked Questions

The PDP series uses a slightly different maple blend and thinner shell, resulting in a warmer, more controlled sound—less crack than the Collectors but still very musical.
The Dual-Turret lugs are generally well-damped, but using felt washers under the lugs is always a good precaution to eliminate any potential unwanted resonance.
It's quite durable, but the matte finish will show fingerprints and smudges more easily than a gloss finish; regular cleaning with a microfiber cloth is recommended.
