Frequently Asked Questions
The Ultraviolet finish is a dye, not a paint, so it won't chip as easily. It doesn't impact the sound at all - it’s purely aesthetic.
The block saddles improve stability compared to vintage-style tremolos, but it’s still a budget system and will require tuning adjustments with heavy use.
Laurel is a bit harder and lighter than rosewood, offering a slightly snappier feel; it doesn't require oiling like rosewood does.
