Frequently Asked Questions
Purpleheart is beautiful but softer than ebony, so it's more prone to showing fretboard wear. Regular maintenance and careful fretwork will help extend its lifespan.
The T106 is a decent tremolo for the price point, but it's not a high-end unit. You'll need to be mindful of tuning stability, especially with aggressive use.
The Classic Elite pickups are a step down in output and refinement compared to the PowerPass or Infinity series, delivering a more raw, vintage-inspired tone.
