Frequently Asked Questions

The Tigerstripe Ebony is known for its exceptionally smooth feel, often considered faster than rosewood, but requires careful attention to intonation.
While versatile, the MEC Vintage pickups lean towards a warmer, vintage tone; they might lack the aggressive output preferred for heavier styles.
This self-lubricating nut minimizes string friction at the nut, improving tuning stability and sustain, a worthwhile upgrade over standard nuts.
