Frequently Asked Questions
The Silver Series uses a slightly thicker shell and simpler hardware, resulting in a more focused, drier tone compared to the more resonant and complex Custom Class.
The lacquer is relatively soft, so it’s prone to minor stick marks. Regular cleaning and careful handling will keep it looking its best, but expect some cosmetic wear over time.
A medium-to-heavy wood tip stick will really bring out the warmth and articulation of the maple shell; avoid overly aggressive sticks that might dampen the tone.
