Frequently Asked Questions
The Evertune provides rock-solid tuning stability, eliminating the need for constant adjustments; it feels more like a fixed bridge, offering a direct and responsive playing feel.
The Fishman Fluence pickups are designed to be a more integrated part of the guitar’s design, but they *are* swappable with some effort and the right tools – a pro install is recommended.
The mahogany provides a warm low-end that complements high-gain tones, and the Evertune ensures stability even when tuned low; it’s built to handle aggressive playing styles.
