Frequently Asked Questions
In passive mode, it delivers a more traditional, warmer tone; active mode adds clarity, punch, and expands the frequency range, but requires batteries.
Morado is generally harder and more durable than Rosewood, but can be slightly less oily, so some players might prefer to occasionally apply a lemon oil treatment.
Bolt-on construction provides a more immediate attack and clarity, but the neck-through designs generally offer a slightly longer sustain and more complex harmonic content.
