Frequently Asked Questions
It's noticeably longer; the string tension is higher, requiring more finger strength and a different playing technique. Expect a wider reach and altered intonation feel.
While visually striking, the figured maple top does subtly influence the tone, adding a touch of airiness and complexity to the Alder's natural resonance – it’s not a dramatic shift, but noticeable.
It's a highly refined system, offering a wide frequency sweep with a smooth response; the active/passive switch provides versatility, and the overall control is very musical and intuitive.
