Frequently Asked Questions
The Classics Custom offers a warmer, more vintage character than the brighter, more modern Byzance series, with a slightly less complex overtone profile.
It's relatively durable, but the Brilliant finish is more prone to showing marks and fingerprints than a more matte finish, so expect to clean it regularly.
It’s a great all-rounder, but a heavier setup might benefit from a thinner, more explosive crash for cutting through the mix.
