Frequently Asked Questions
The Bigsby adds a subtle shimmer and warmth, but can also introduce a slight compression effect; adjust spring tension to control the vibrato intensity.
They’re designed for a strong output, but maintain a good balance across frequencies – think classic rock crunch without excessive mud.
Ebony is naturally porous; occasional application of a specialized ebony oil will help maintain its feel and prevent dryness.
