Frequently Asked Questions
The active electronics boost the signal and offer a wider range of tonal shaping, allowing for more aggressive or scooped sounds while maintaining clarity.
The thin 'U' profile is generally comfortable, but players with very large hands might find it slightly narrow, although the 38mm nut width offers good spacing.
The Vintage White finish is beautiful, but Swamp Ash tends to show checking more easily than Mahogany or Maple. Regular waxing will help preserve the finish.
