Frequently Asked Questions
The PowerSpan pickups are a noticeable step up – more articulate and with a broader dynamic range, offering more clarity without sacrificing that Ibanez punch.
Jatoba is a denser wood, but like any wood fingerboard, it benefits from occasional conditioning with a quality lemon oil to prevent cracking, especially in drier climates.
The 3-band EQ is relatively straightforward; it allows for subtle or drastic tonal adjustments, but it's not overly complex and easy to learn, making it versatile for various genres.
