Frequently Asked Questions
Purpleheart is harder and denser than rosewood, offering a slicker feel and greater durability, but some find it less 'warm' in tone.
The T102 is a basic tremolo; it'll handle some vibrato but isn't built for extreme use without frequent tuning adjustments.
It's versatile enough for rock, metal, and even some blues, excelling where a bit of aggression and a modern feel are desired.
