Frequently Asked Questions
Roasted jatoba is generally brighter and snappier than rosewood, offering more clarity and definition in the high-end without being harsh.
They’re surprisingly good – they have a nice, thick tone with a vintage vibe, punching above their weight class and delivering a usable range of sounds.
Inspect the fretwork carefully for any sharp edges or unevenness; also, check the neck alignment and hardware for any obvious defects – most are fine, but it's good to be thorough.
