Frequently Asked Questions
It's a step down in refinement, but still delivers a strong, clear tone; lacks the nuanced articulation of their premium offerings but offers plenty of punch.
Jatoba is generally stable, but like any hardwood, it's a good idea to occasionally treat it with a fretboard conditioner to prevent cracking.
The tap switch provides a more single-coil like tone, offering a brighter, more articulate sound for cleaner passages or different tonal textures.
