Frequently Asked Questions
It's voiced for a thicker, more vintage tone – less clarity, more warmth and a slightly compressed feel, like a classic rhythm guitar.
It will feel different; you'll need to adjust your fingerings, but it's perfectly usable – just expect a slightly altered feel and string tension.
A smaller, clean amp or a slightly overdriven amp will really bring out the guitar's character. Think Vox AC15 or Fender Deluxe-style amps.
