Frequently Asked Questions
The active preamp boosts the signal and offers EQ shaping; bypassing it provides a more passive, slightly darker tone, but requires no external power.
Yes, roasted maple is kiln-treated to reduce moisture sensitivity, resulting in greater stability, a smoother feel, and a more consistent playing experience over time.
The 34" scale provides a little more tension and a slightly deeper fundamental, but it’s a standard length and most players adapt quickly. It’s a good middle ground if you're not strictly a 30.5” or 35” player.
