Frequently Asked Questions

The active preamp expands your tonal palette with treble and bass controls, but the bypass switch allows for a completely passive, more vintage tone.
Morado is a dense wood, generally durable, but can show wear slightly differently than rosewood – it tends to highlight finger placement more distinctly.
It provides easy access to the internal electronics for battery replacement and minor adjustments, simplifying maintenance.
