Frequently Asked Questions
Dynasonics offer a tighter, more focused tone with less of the characteristic 'muddiness' of a Filter'Tron, retaining that Gretsch twang but with added clarity.
Being a relic'd instrument, each guitar will have unique wear patterns – it's part of the charm and ensures no two are exactly alike, showcasing the aging process.
While chambering reduces weight, the mahogany and ebony combination still provides surprising sustain, offering a balance between resonance and focused tone.
