Frequently Asked Questions
The active preamp significantly boosts output and expands tonal possibilities, offering more aggressive distortion and precise EQ control, but it does require a battery.
Absolutely; roasting stabilizes the wood, resulting in improved resonance, reduced string pull, and a remarkably smooth playing feel – it’s a noticeable upgrade.
