Frequently Asked Questions
It’s based on the Special 20 but tuned to a minor pentatonic scale, simplifying blues licks and improvisations; the voicing is also slightly altered for that specific sound.
While wood offers a warmer tone, the plastic comb is more resistant to moisture and temperature changes, ensuring more consistent performance over time.
The LF tuning presents a slightly different bending challenge than standard keys; it requires a bit more practice to master the bends, but is very rewarding.
