Frequently Asked Questions
The active EQ provides subtle shaping – the hi/low cut controls allow you to tailor the bass response without drastically altering the core vintage character, adding flexibility.
The neck profile is likely a comfortable C-shape, but the long scale length might require a bit of adjustment for players with smaller hands – it's worth trying before committing.
The nitrocellulose lacquer provides a beautiful finish, but it's relatively soft and will develop a patina over time, which some players appreciate for its vintage character.
