Frequently Asked Questions
Resinator is harder and slicker, offering lower friction and a slightly different tactile experience; it requires less maintenance than wood but some may prefer a more traditional feel.
The active preamp provides a noticeable volume boost and a more defined, scooped mid-range; passive mode offers a warmer, more vintage-like tone with less output.
The weight is substantial, so a good strap and proper setup are crucial for comfortable play; lighter players might find it tiring over long periods.
