Frequently Asked Questions
Beech generally has more low-mid warmth and a quicker decay than maple, offering a rounder, more vintage tone.
They provide more precise and consistent tuning, reducing the risk of lug slippage and allowing for finer adjustments.
Like any vintage-style finish, it requires careful handling, but Sonor's lacquer is fairly durable; protect it with a good head protector.
