Frequently Asked Questions

The Nitron finish is thinner, allowing more of the shell’s natural resonance to project, resulting in a more open and lively tone compared to thicker lacquers.
The GTS mounts are exceptionally well-designed, minimizing contact and dampening, but some players still prefer a touch of dampening for a more tailored sound.
The blue burst is beautiful but can show fingerprints; regular wiping with a microfiber cloth and occasional wax application will keep it looking its best.
