Frequently Asked Questions

The Artec pickups are higher output and have a more aggressive, slightly harsher tone than the Infinity series, leaning more towards a modern metal sound.
Jatoba is generally more stable than rosewood, so it requires less frequent oiling, but occasional conditioning is still recommended to maintain its smooth feel.
A fixed bridge transfers string vibrations more directly to the body, generally resulting in increased sustain and improved tuning stability compared to a floating tremolo.
