Frequently Asked Questions
The Velvetrones offer a similar high-output, aggressive voice but with a slightly more refined, less raw character. They're designed to be versatile enough for various genres without sacrificing modern tones.
Birdseye maple is a harder wood, but the open grain can be susceptible to catching dirt and potential minor chipping if not properly cared for. Regular oiling will help protect it.
Bolt-on necks can still deliver excellent sustain, and Mayones' construction techniques minimize any perceived loss. The overall resonance of the swamp ash body contributes significantly to the guitar's sustain.
