Frequently Asked Questions

Purpleheart is generally brighter and snappier than rosewood, offering a more articulate sound with a slightly more aggressive edge.
The T102 tremolo is decent for basic vibrato, but heavier use might require occasional tuning adjustments; it’s not a top-tier, ultra-stable system.
It’s a fairly standard, comfortable C-shape – not as thin as some of their wizard necks, but still easy to play for a wide range of players.
