Frequently Asked Questions
The Manson pickups have a more aggressive upper-midrange and tighter low-end, creating a more defined and articulate sound – less 'muddy' than many traditional humbuckers.

While well-constructed, bolt-on necks generally don't transmit resonance as effectively as a set-neck, which can slightly reduce overall sustain.
