Frequently Asked Questions
The A Custom is generally more complex and nuanced, with more overtones, while the A-Series is more direct and focused – a more streamlined sound.
While it can handle moderate playing, its thinner profile means it’s not ideal for extremely aggressive metal playing, as it's more prone to damage.
You’ll get a clear, defined stick sound with a quick decay, emphasizing the initial attack rather than a long, sustaining wash.
