Frequently Asked Questions
The Railhammers are significantly hotter and have a more aggressive midrange, offering a thicker, more saturated tone – think more bite and sustain.
It's a more complex EQ that affects both the bass and treble frequencies, allowing for a broader tonal shaping, but can require some experimentation to get right.
While the bolt-on design inherently limits sustain compared to set-neck guitars, the chambered alder body and string-through-body bridge compensate somewhat, providing a respectable level of resonance.
