Frequently Asked Questions
Quantum pickups are generally hotter and more articulate than the older Ibanez Super Hyper pickups, offering a tighter low-end and more aggressive high-end response.
Jatoba is a denser wood than rosewood and can be slightly more susceptible to drying, so regular conditioning with a fretboard oil is recommended to maintain playability.
A fixed bridge doesn’t allow for the same vibrato effects as a tremolo, but you can still achieve some subtle pitch bending using your technique and volume/tone controls.
