Frequently Asked Questions

Roasted jatoba is more stable and resistant to humidity changes than ebony, offering a consistently smooth feel, though it lacks ebony's traditional darker aesthetic.
While they're not high-output pickups, they can handle modern metal and djent styles with a slightly higher gain setting, but may lack extreme clarity.
The thin 'U' profile is generally comfortable, but players with very large hands might find it slightly narrow; it's best to try before buying if possible.
