Frequently Asked Questions
Roseacer is maple that’s been thermally treated, so it’s denser and more stable than standard maple, but has a feel closer to rosewood than maple—a good compromise for durability and playability.
The high-gloss finish can be a little slick straight out of the box, but it’s generally playable. A light application of lemon oil or a similar product can improve the feel if you prefer a less glossy neck.
The tremolo is functional, but it’s a budget-friendly unit. Expect some tuning instability if you use the tremolo extensively—a professional setup and potentially upgraded springs can help.
