Frequently Asked Questions

Caramelization creates a denser, more stable neck that resists warping and contributes to increased sustain. The feel is often described as smoother and slightly warmer.

Direct mounting can sometimes introduce a bit more noise if the shielding isn't optimal; a professional setup with conductive paint or foil might be beneficial for the cleanest signal.

The fixed bridge eliminates tremolo functionality, so this isn't the guitar if you need that feature. It prioritizes tuning stability and sustain over vibrato capabilities.
