Frequently Asked Questions
The spalted maple adds a touch of brightness and complexity, enhancing the mahogany’s warmth and sustain; it's a subtle but noticeable difference.
The thin ‘C’ profile is generally comfortable, but the 42mm nut width might feel a bit narrower for those with very large hands.
The Wilkinson is a traditional tremolo, offering smoother, more nuanced vibrato; it’s less extreme than a Floyd Rose but more reliable for staying in tune.
