Frequently Asked Questions
HiloTons offer a more refined, less overwound tone—more clarity and articulation, with a slightly sweeter high end compared to the more aggressive Filter’Tron.
The neck is a classic 'C' shape with a 12 in radius, which some players with larger hands might find a little less forgiving than a flatter profile, but still manageable.
The Bigsby B6 is generally quite stable, especially with the Grover Sta-Tite tuners; however, extreme vibrato use can still require occasional tuning adjustments.
