Frequently Asked Questions
The Vintage Tone Control (VTC) acts as a filter, shaping the overall EQ while the preamp is engaged. Pushing the VTC bypasses the preamp entirely, offering a more traditional, passive tone.
Morado is a dense, durable wood, but it can show wear more visibly than Rosewood. It's less prone to oil absorption, so it maintains its appearance better over time.
The 'C' profile is a comfortable, familiar shape—slightly thinner than some of their deeper 'U' profiles, offering a modern feel while retaining good hand comfort.
