Frequently Asked Questions
The Evertune system provides a unique, almost 'locked-in' feel; it's incredibly stable but requires a slight adjustment to picking technique initially.
Absolutely; the high output and clarity of the Solar+ pickups handle aggressive playing styles and complex tones exceptionally well.
Jatoba adds a subtle warmth and complexity to the neck's tone, offering a slightly different character than a purely maple neck – it's a nice touch.
