🎼 Comb Design & Sublime Harmony
- N40 Sublime：Its comb has an extra set of teeth tuned at –14 cents compared to the Standard model.
When notes are struck, the –14 cent comb plays simultaneously, creating a subtle pitch difference.
This produces the “Sublime Harmony” effect: a unique trembling resonance and extended tail tone, giving the sound more emotional depth and complexity.
- N40 Standard：Uses a single comb without the –14 cent offset, resulting in a cleaner, purer sustain without the layered trembling effect.
⚙️ Base Material
- N40 Standard：The base is made of zinc alloy. This provides stability but keeps the sound lighter and brighter.
- N40 Sublime：The base is made of brass, which is heavier and denser. Brass enhances resonance and gives the tone a deeper, steadier character.
🌳 Solid Wood Body
- N40 Sublime：Uses heat-treated Acacia wood, a premium tonewood often favored in high-end guitars. Acacia adds warmth and complexity, enriching the harmonics and supporting the trembling tail effect.
- N40 Standard：Uses North American hardwood, also common in guitars and instruments. Its character emphasizes pure, natural sound reproduction—clean and straightforward, without added bright overtones or lingering resonance.
✨ Summary
- N40 Sublime = Extra –14 cent comb teeth + Brass base + Acacia wood → Layered trembling resonance, extended sustain, warmer and richer timbre.
- N40 Standard = Single comb + Zinc alloy base + North American hardwood → Pure, clean, straightforward tone with natural clarity.
