Frequently Asked Questions
The gain boost adds a noticeable overdrive, thickening the sound and adding sustain – great for lead work or heavier rhythm parts without external pedals.
It's a floating trem, so it requires a bit more care and setup than a fixed bridge; expect minor tuning adjustments after heavy use, but it's manageable with proper maintenance.
The roasting process stabilizes the wood, making it less prone to warping and offering a smoother, more consistent feel; it’s generally considered a premium upgrade.
