Frequently Asked Questions
The maple offers a more controlled, focused tone compared to the boomy, complex brass—it’s less ‘splashy’ and more ‘punchy’.
Yes, the GTS system is relatively straightforward to adjust, but it requires a slightly different tuning approach compared to traditional lugs.
The VP finish is quite durable, but it’s a thinner wrap than some others, so it's best to be mindful of impacts and sharp objects to prevent chipping.
