Frequently Asked Questions
It offers a similar warmth and clarity, but the Alnico II magnet provides a slightly sweeter, more refined tone and improved dynamic range.
It’s designed to be balanced with other single coils, but pairing it with a humbucker will result in a noticeable output difference and tonal contrast – may require some tweaking.
The cover is not potted, so there’s a small chance of microphonics at higher volumes or with aggressive playing; careful setup and noise gate usage can mitigate this.
