Frequently Asked Questions
The Maestro Vibrola, while adding vintage character, can be sensitive to string tension and requires careful setup to maintain stable tuning, especially with heavy use.
The aging is primarily cosmetic, but it can subtly alter the finish’s feel and potentially influence the guitar's resonance – though this is typically minimal.
Unpotted pickups are less shielded, resulting in a more open, dynamic sound with increased hum and a slightly higher output compared to potted pickups.
