Frequently Asked Questions
Morado offers a denser feel than Rosewood, similar to Ebony but with a warmer, slightly more complex tone – a real sweet spot.
The bypass provides a more transparent tone; it’s subtle but reduces the preamp’s coloration, allowing the pickups’ natural character to shine.
The Quick Access is well-designed and straightforward; it’s a simple, secure way to change strings without needing to remove the entire bridge.
