Frequently Asked Questions

The Sustainiac uses a unique electromagnetic driver, offering a more natural sustain than some alternatives, but requires a dedicated power source.
Yes, the ultra-thin C profile is noticeably slim, which some players will love, but others might find it lacks substantial feel.
Ebony generally contributes to a snappier, brighter tone with improved note definition compared to rosewood, which complements the high-output pickups well.
