Frequently Asked Questions

The A-Custom has a noticeably brighter, more complex tone and faster response than the S-Series, which is darker and more budget-friendly.
Yes, the brilliant finish will show marks with use, but it's part of the aesthetic and doesn't impact the sound significantly; proper care will minimize them.
While versatile, its delicate nature and high-frequency focus make it less ideal for very aggressive playing styles; a larger, heavier splash would be more appropriate.
