Frequently Asked Questions

Purpleheart is denser than rosewood, offering a slightly slicker, faster feel – some players prefer it for its responsiveness.
The Infinity R pickups are surprisingly powerful and handle driven rhythms and moderate distortion quite well, but high-gain players might want an upgrade.
While it doesn't offer the same sustain as a set-neck, the bolt-on design contributes to a lighter, more responsive feel which many players find beneficial.
