Frequently Asked Questions
The D-Tuna allows quick drops in tuning without drastically altering the tremolo's return-to-pitch, though frequent extreme adjustments still require careful fine-tuning.
The treble bleed circuit allows for volume reduction without losing high-end clarity – a genuinely useful feature for quieter playing scenarios.
Basswood provides a balanced, slightly softer tone with good resonance, lacking the focused low-end of mahogany but offering a more even response than alder.
