Frequently Asked Questions
The 'C' shape is a comfortable medium profile, a little more substantial than some modern designs but still very playable for extended periods.
Absolutely; solid sapele provides richer overtones and a more mature tone that will develop beautifully over time, unlike laminate alternatives.
They're designed to evoke vintage tuners with their enclosed design and ivory pegs, offering decent functionality and a classic look, though not quite the same precision as high-end vintage hardware.
