Frequently Asked Questions
Roasted jatoba is generally more stable and resistant to humidity changes than rosewood, resulting in a consistently smooth feel and fewer fret buzz issues.
They're surprisingly versatile; they offer a good balance, leaning towards a vintage tone with a decent amount of output for rock and blues – not shred territory, but plenty powerful.
The thin 'U' profile is generally comfortable, but players with very large hands might find it slightly snug; it's more geared toward players with average to smaller hand sizes.
