Frequently Asked Questions
The active preamp provides a wider tonal range, allowing for more precise treble and bass adjustments, but it requires a power source and can introduce a slight coloration if not carefully managed.
Morado is generally quite stable, but like any wood, it's best to keep it properly hydrated with occasional fretboard oiling to prevent any potential issues down the road.
The quick-release system makes string changes incredibly fast, but it's crucial to ensure the bridge is properly seated after each change to maintain optimal intonation and stability.
