Frequently Asked Questions
Roasted maple is kiln-dried at high temperatures, which stabilizes it and reduces the likelihood of warping or twisting, resulting in a more consistent feel and improved resonance.
They lean towards a vintage voicing, offering clarity and articulation without excessive output – very usable for a wide range of styles.
The Wilkinson tremolo is generally well-regarded for its reliability and ease of setup; however, regular maintenance and proper string changes are still crucial to prevent tuning instability.
