Frequently Asked Questions

The thin profile offers a very responsive, almost 'washy' feel; it's noticeably lighter and more flexible than their heavier, more defined rides.
While versatile, it's not designed for heavy rock; the controlled overtones and thin weight won't project as much as a heavier, more aggressive ride.
The ‘Vintage’ series generally has a thinner profile and darker sound than the ‘Traditional’ series, prioritizing a more nuanced and complex sonic character.
