Frequently Asked Questions
The 35” scale extends the low frequencies, giving a deeper, more resonant tone, but requires a slight adjustment to finger spacing and reach.
The Tesla pickups are surprisingly good – they offer a clear, punchy tone with a good amount of output, punching above their weight class in terms of performance.
Like any instrument with these features, maintain proper humidity levels and have a professional setup if you notice any issues; ebony can be sensitive to dryness.
