Frequently Asked Questions

Roasted jatoba offers a smoother, more stable feel than rosewood, and a brighter tone than ebony. It's a modern alternative with good durability.
Yes, the VR-Nitro Alnico-5 pickups have a good output and handle high-gain styles well, although it won't be a boutique-level experience.
The 'C' profile with 22.5mm thickness at the 12th fret is fairly standard, but players with very large hands might find it slightly snug – it's best to try before buying if possible.
