Frequently Asked Questions
Bartolini pickups generally offer a more refined, articulate tone compared to some other active systems; they lean towards a more balanced response with less aggressive high-end.
Yes, it’s noticeably thinner in the middle, offering a faster feel, but it's a matter of personal preference – some players find it immediately comfortable, others require an adjustment period.
Wenge is susceptible to dryness, so regular oiling with a specialized fingerboard conditioner is crucial to prevent cracking and maintain playability.
