Frequently Asked Questions
S-Tech wood is treated for increased stability and resonance, often feeling smoother and more resistant to temperature/humidity changes than standard maple.
The Gotoh T1702B is a well-regarded tremolo; however, it will still require occasional setup and maintenance to keep it functioning smoothly.
While it excels in country, blues, and rock, the pickup configuration and compound radius allow for surprisingly good clean tones and even some heavier styles, though it’s not a shred machine.
