Frequently Asked Questions
The ebony fretboard is a bit harder than rosewood, so it will require a slightly lighter touch and more precise finger placement; it's not as forgiving as some softer fretboards.
They lean towards a vintage jazz character – articulate and clear, but with a roundness and warmth that avoids harshness, especially when combined with the Heritage-3 EQ.
The 46mm nut is a comfortable width, but players used to 38mm might find a slight adjustment needed, particularly when playing fast lines.
