Frequently Asked Questions
Roasted jatoba is significantly more stable and less prone to movement with humidity changes, resulting in a smoother, more consistent playing experience and reduced fret buzz.
They respond well to moderate gain, providing a good balance of clarity and punch. While they can handle higher gain, they really shine with a more vintage-voiced amplifier.
The Wilkinson tremolo is generally regarded as reliable and easy to adjust, but regular maintenance (cleaning and lubrication) is recommended to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
