Frequently Asked Questions
It blends single coils and a humbucker, providing clean, bright tones and heavier rock/blues sounds; the Alter Switch alters pickup configuration for further tonal variation.
The T106 tremolo is a basic, single-point design, so it's best suited for subtle vibrato; more aggressive tremolo use might require upgrades.
Jatoba is harder and denser, offering a snappier attack and a slightly brighter tone compared to rosewood, while feeling smoother than maple.
