Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the standard humbucker size allows for easy pickup swaps, opening up a wide range of tonal possibilities.
Rosewood can expand and contract with humidity, so it's best to keep the guitar in a stable environment. A humidifier/dehumidifier can help prevent fret sprout or neck movement.
