Frequently Asked Questions
The caramelisation process creates a smoother, slightly glossier feel, which generally translates to faster and easier playing, especially for those who prefer a less textured neck.
They're more on the vintage side – not overly hot, but with a nice, clear output that responds well to different playing styles and amp settings.
Laurel is a bit softer than rosewood, so it might show wear slightly faster with aggressive playing or heavy use of back-of-neck techniques; regular conditioning is recommended.
