Frequently Asked Questions
The Quantum 7s are generally higher output and tighter sounding, offering a more modern, aggressive tone than the Infinity series, which tend to be a bit more vintage-voiced.
The Wizard II-7 neck is slim, but the 48mm nut width provides enough space for most hand sizes; however, those preferring a very thick neck might find it a bit thin.
Jatoba is a very hard wood, so it’s generally more resistant to wear than Rosewood, though it might require slightly more effort to maintain a perfectly smooth feel initially.
