Frequently Asked Questions

Serpents are generally thinner and lighter than the Traditional or Masters series, prioritizing shimmer and responsiveness over raw power.
While visually striking, the brilliant finish is prone to scratching; regular polishing is recommended to maintain its shine.
It’s better suited for more nuanced styles; heavier hitters might find it lacking in projection and sustain for those genres.
