Frequently Asked Questions

Roasted jatoba is exceptionally stable, resisting warping and providing a smooth, fast feel, which generally extends the guitar's lifespan and improves playability.
While they excel at high-gain, the Tesla pickups offer a usable clean tone with a warm, slightly compressed character, especially when the volume is rolled back.
The 'C' profile is a fairly standard shape, but it's slightly thicker than many Fender necks and closer to a Gibson profile, offering a more substantial feel in the hand.
