Frequently Asked Questions
Roasted jatoba is exceptionally stable, resists humidity changes well, and offers a slightly snappier, more articulate feel compared to standard jatoba. It contributes to a brighter, more defined tone.
The Tesla pickups are surprisingly impressive – they offer a strong output with good clarity and a dynamic response that punches above their price point. They’re a noticeable upgrade from many stock pickups you find in guitars at this price.
The 'C' profile is relatively slim, measuring around 20.5mm at the 1st fret and 22.5mm at the 12th. If you prefer a D or thicker neck profile, this might feel a bit thin in your hand.
