Frequently Asked Questions
Roasted jatoba is incredibly stable and resists warping, offering a smooth, fast feel with minimal friction – it’s a noticeable upgrade over standard fingerboards.
While not high-output, the HAF pickups have plenty of character and punch for classic rock and blues; heavier genres will require a good amp and gain settings.
The GTB wrapover design generally enhances sustain and tuning stability, but the string angle might feel slightly different compared to a standard Strat bridge.
