Frequently Asked Questions
Jatoba is harder and brighter than rosewood, offering a snappier feel and a more articulate tone, but it may require a slight adjustment if you're used to softer fretboards.
Yes, the Quantum pickups are standard-sized humbuckers, making them straightforward to replace with other brands or models for different tonal options.
The Wizard III neck is notably thin and fast, designed for speed, and most players find it comfortable for extended playing – though some may prefer a slightly thicker profile.
