Frequently Asked Questions
Walnut offers a more restrained, warmer tone than rosewood, with less overt bass and a slightly drier feel. It's a great alternative if you want a sophisticated sound without excessive boom.
While not as dense as ebony, the thermal treatment makes it incredibly stable and resistant to wear and tear, offering a smooth playing experience that rivals traditional ebony.
The ES2 is a significant upgrade, providing a much more natural and responsive amplified tone with improved feedback rejection compared to older systems – it truly captures the acoustic voice of the guitar.
