Frequently Asked Questions
HPT signifies 'Hidden Panel Technology,' which enhances resonance and sustain by strategically routing internal wood. This results in a more lively and responsive feel under your fingers.
These pickups are unpotted, which allows for more high-frequency response and a slightly more open, dynamic sound compared to potted pickups, emphasizing clarity and detail.
Ebony is naturally oily but can dry out over time; regular conditioning with a specialized ebony fingerboard oil will keep it smooth and prevent cracking or dryness.
