With the WBS200 we took our original WBS100 and made some nice improvements. Firstly we added a piezo and magnetic preamp. The Cadic 3 preamp has a built in chromatic tuner, 3 band EQ, Phase (phase can help reduce feedback). The reason we added this preamp is wanted you to have the ability to get a natural sound (using the piezo) or a more dirty blues style tone from the magnetic pickup. You can also blend these both together to get any variation in between. Then we changed the finish to a super light open pore (open pore means that the surface is very light and you can still see the grain in wood, as it uses much less paint than a gloss finish it allows the Weissenborn to resonant stronger and more clearly. The last thing we changed was the machine heads, we changed these to a standard diecast for superior tuning (the old vintage style machine heads look great but they don't work as well as a modern diecast).
