Frequently Asked Questions
The VTC subtly rolls off highs and emphasizes the midrange, providing a smoother, more vintage-inspired tone while retaining clarity. It’s not a drastic change but adds a useful shaping option.
It’s a deliberate design choice offering a quicker response and brighter tone than a set-neck. Sadowsky's execution maintains excellent stability and sustain.
Morado is denser than rosewood, offering a smoother, slightly more 'grippy' feel, and generally considered more durable than rosewood, though less so than ebony.
