Frequently Asked Questions
Resinator is harder and more durable, resisting wear better than rosewood, but lacks the traditional warmth of ebony. It provides a smooth, almost glassy feel.
The bridge pickup's 13.8K output delivers plenty of punch for rock and accessible metal, but might need a boost for extreme high-gain applications.
The neck thickness is moderate, around 20mm at the 12th fret, which should be comfortable for most hand sizes, although the Resinator's feel is unique and takes some getting used to.
