Frequently Asked Questions
The body sensor adds a natural, acoustic-like resonance and warmth, especially when blended with the pickups, creating a more organic and nuanced sound.
It takes some experimentation; the five positions offer distinct tonal combinations, but understanding them fully requires a bit of time and tweaking.
The T5z Pro CR offers a higher-end feel and more versatile pickup options compared to the Silent Series, and generally boasts better acoustic resonance than the Aerodyne, but comes at a premium price.
