Frequently Asked Questions

V-Class distributes the string’s energy more evenly, resulting in increased volume, longer sustain, and a more even response across the tonal spectrum - a clear upgrade.
They're primarily aesthetic, but the added weight and material density around the fret markers *could* slightly influence the guitar’s vibrational characteristics – though the effect is minimal.
The ES2 offers a more natural and dynamic amplified tone than many piezo systems, thanks to its multi-element design; it’s a significant step up in realism and responsiveness.
