Frequently Asked Questions
Jatoba is harder and feels smoother, some players find it a little less 'grippy' than rosewood and may prefer to apply a bit of lemon oil.
The T106 is a basic tremolo; aggressive use will require more frequent tuning adjustments, but it's generally stable for subtle vibrato.
The Infinity RS pickups provide a respectable output level, suitable for playing with a band, though high-gain amp users might want an upgrade later.
