Frequently Asked Questions
The active EQ provides a noticeable boost in the low and high frequencies, adding clarity and punch – it can also introduce a slight hiss if your gain is high.
Black walnut is a softer wood than ebony, so it will show wear faster than some fretboards, but proper care and maintenance will minimize this.
The longer scale provides a tighter, more defined low-end, but the string tension is higher, which might require a slight adjustment to your playing technique.
