Frequently Asked Questions

It's relatively straightforward, offering a good balance of bass, mids, and treble. However, the 3-band EQ does allow for a wide range of tonal sculpting.
Graphite nuts are more stable and resistant to temperature and humidity changes, contributing to improved tuning stability and reduced wear over time.
