Frequently Asked Questions
Jatoba is harder and denser than Rosewood, offering a snappier feel and potentially more resistance to wear. It lacks the traditional 'oily' feel of Rosewood, but many players find it a welcome alternative.
The Wizard III profile is generally considered slim and fast, which might feel cramped for those with very large hands, but most players will find it comfortable.
The F106 bridge is stable, but the string spacing might feel a little tight for extreme wide bends compared to some other bridge designs.
