Frequently Asked Questions
Purpleheart is denser and harder than rosewood, resulting in a slicker feel and a slightly brighter, more articulate tone.
The neck profile is a comfortable 'C' shape, but the shorter scale length might feel a little compact for those with very large hands; best to try it if possible.
Yes, passive electronics offer a more limited tonal palette than active systems; however, the SPB-1 pickup delivers a powerful and versatile sound within that passive range.
