Frequently Asked Questions
It’s more aggressive than the SR series, leaning towards a heavier, more modern sound due to the Dynamix pickups and Phat II EQ.
New Zealand pine is softer than rosewood or ebony, so it’s best to keep it clean and oiled to prevent excessive wear and potential fret sprout.
Absolutely, the pickups offer a good clean tone, but you might want to consider a higher-quality preamp for more tonal flexibility in a professional setting.
