Frequently Asked Questions
The Evertune eliminates tremolo functionality; it’s a fixed bridge system. This gives a more direct transfer of string vibration to the body, increasing sustain and providing a more solid feel under heavy picking.
Absolutely. They're designed to handle high-gain styles, providing a tight, articulate low-end with plenty of aggressive upper harmonics.
Ebony is a dense hardwood, but it can still develop wear marks. Regular conditioning with a fretboard oil will help maintain its smooth feel and prevent excessive dryness.
