Frequently Asked Questions
The DynaMix switch essentially coils splits the Air Norton, offering a brighter, more Strat-like tone – a surprisingly versatile addition.
Like all ebony, it can dry out; regular conditioning with a dedicated ebony oil is recommended to prevent cracking and maintain its playability.
It's a bit heavier than some, thanks to the neck-through construction and ebony fingerboard, but still manageable—around 8.5 pounds – a solid feel without being cumbersome.
