Frequently Asked Questions

Resinator is much more resistant to temperature and humidity changes, which means less worry about fret sprout or warping, but it lacks the traditional feel and aging characteristics of wood.
These are vintage-voiced AlNiCo-2 pickups, offering a balanced tone suitable for classic rock, blues, and even jazz; they’re not overly hot but provide plenty of drive when needed.
While it's not a lightweight instrument, the 24.75” scale and comfortable neck profile help mitigate the weight, but a strap is definitely recommended for longer gigs.
