Frequently Asked Questions

The primer is a standard pore filler; heavier finishes like automotive paints might require sanding it back to the bare wood for optimal adhesion.
Amaranth is harder and denser than rosewood, offering a slicker feel and increased durability against wear, though some players prefer the traditional feel of rosewood.
Beyond basic hand tools, you'll need a good quality screwdriver set, a neck alignment jig, and ideally a soldering iron for any electronics modifications.
