Frequently Asked Questions
The raw steel finish allows more of the steel's natural vibrations to contribute to the tone, resulting in a more raw, resonant sound with increased sustain and a slightly metallic edge.
The maple neck has a fairly standard 'C' shape profile, but the 1.82 in nut width might feel a little snug for players with very large hands; a trial is recommended.
The SingCone offers a more focused, powerful tone than the Tricone, prioritizing clarity and projection – it's less complex and more direct in its sound.
