Frequently Asked Questions

Roasted jatoba is a bit snappier and lighter than ebony, offering a more lively feel. It's also exceptionally stable and resists warping well, making it very durable.
The Tesla pickups are a real highlight; they offer a surprisingly rich and dynamic tone with good clarity and a nice bite, punching well above their price point.
The high-gloss gold finish is relatively delicate and can show wear with aggressive playing or careless handling; a good quality polish will help maintain its appearance.
