Frequently Asked Questions
The finish itself doesn’t impact the tone, but the aging process often reveals the wood’s character, potentially enhancing resonance slightly.
While leaning towards vintage tones, the SwingBuckers handle moderate overdrive well, but they’re not designed for extreme high-gain distortion.
The Bigsby is relatively straightforward, but regular lubrication of the tremolo arm and springs will keep it functioning smoothly and prevent tuning issues.
