Frequently Asked Questions
It’s brighter and more aggressive than the classic alnico Jazzmasters, lacking that warm, swampy tone, but offering more clarity and bite.
Yes, it's fairly stable for gentle vibrato, but heavy use will require frequent tuning adjustments.
Laurel is generally durable, but it can develop a bit of a matte finish over time and may require occasional oiling to maintain its feel.
