Frequently Asked Questions
The shorter scale results in a 'looser' feel and a slightly rounder tone, lacking some of the tight low-end you’d get from a full-scale instrument.
They're definitely on the vintage side, offering a warmer, more rounded tone than modern high-output pickups; think classic rock rhythm, not searing leads.
Blackwood is a moderately hard wood, providing a smooth feel under the fingers and generally good durability, though it may require occasional oiling to maintain its condition.
