Frequently Asked Questions
The sandblasted finish reduces the surface reflectivity, creating a more controlled and responsive feel while subtly darkening the overall tone.
While it possesses a unique character, its darker, warmer sound isn't ideal for brighter, more aggressive rock or metal genres; it'll feel dampened.
The hand-hammering creates complex overtones and a more organic, less 'machine-like' sound, adding warmth and a vintage quality.
