Frequently Asked Questions
The MEC J/J offers a more aggressive, focused tone than a typical P/J—less of the scooped mids and more overall punch.
The Ekanga adds stiffness and a subtle brightness to the neck's resonance, complementing the maple's stability and contributing to a snappier feel.
Wenge is naturally drier than rosewood; regular oiling with a fretboard conditioner is essential to prevent cracking and maintain playability.
