Frequently Asked Questions

Dynasonics are generally brighter and more articulate than P90s, with a less aggressive edge and a more shimmering quality, leaning towards a cleaner, more refined tone.
The neck is a vintage-style 'U' shape, which some players with larger hands might find a bit narrower than modern profiles, but generally comfortable.
The trestle bracing contributes to a lively, open resonance, preventing the hollow body from becoming too boxy and enhancing sustain while maintaining clarity.
