Frequently Asked Questions
It’s an onboard sustainer that generates infinite sustain – think of a built-in feedback loop. It's best used for textural elements rather than a primary rhythm tone.
It's primarily cosmetic, but the thinner finish does contribute slightly to the guitar's resonance, offering a touch more openness compared to a thicker gloss finish.
The ultra-thin C profile can be challenging for those with very large hands; it's best suited for players with smaller to medium-sized hands who prefer a fast, effortless feel.
