Frequently Asked Questions

It's considerably more complex; the slide switches control both pickup selection and volume/tone for the rhythm and lead circuits, requiring some time to master.
The vintage-style tremolo is relatively stable with proper setup, but aggressive use will necessitate retuning – a common trait of vintage-inspired tremolos.
Rosewood can naturally develop oils, but a quick wipe down with a lemon oil and cloth periodically will keep it feeling smooth and prevent buildup.
