Frequently Asked Questions
The floating design reduces direct contact with the guitar body, allowing more vibration and enhancing sustain compared to traditional potted pickups.
While it's designed for steel strings, it *could* work with nylon, but the tonal balance will be significantly altered – expect a much weaker and duller output.
The S-6 is generally warmer and less aggressive than the '53, and offers a more focused tone than the wider dynamic range of the Monaco, making it a great choice for a more traditional jazz sound.
