Frequently Asked Questions
The Just-A-Nut III offers a lower profile and smoother transition for the strings, resulting in improved open string resonance and a more comfortable feel, especially for fast playing.
Soapbars generally provide a more defined and articulate low end with less of the 'growl' often associated with P-style pickups – they’re tighter and more focused.
While neck-through designs offer potentially more resonance, Sadowsky's bolt-on construction is meticulously executed for excellent sustain and reliability, and the roasted maple adds considerable stability.
