Frequently Asked Questions
String changes can be a bit more involved initially, requiring careful alignment; setup demands precision to avoid intonation issues, best left to a qualified technician initially.
Bartolini pickups are generally considered robust, but finding a qualified tech for repair or replacement may require some searching, as they aren't as common as standard pickups.
Like all active electronics, there's a potential for slight hum, but the Space 5 SDG's design and shielding are generally very good, minimizing this issue.
