Frequently Asked Questions

The active circuit adds a subtle warmth and enhances the low-mids, while bypass allows for a more transparent, 'vintage' tone – a nice flexibility for different genres.
Morado is generally stable, but it's a denser wood. Proper humidity control is always key, but it shouldn't be significantly more problematic than other tonewoods.
It drastically simplifies string changes, which is a real time-saver, especially for gigging musicians, and ensures consistent bridge alignment.
