Frequently Asked Questions
The Lipstick pickups offer a more compressed, harmonically rich tone – less brittle than many standard single coils, with a distinct ‘sparkle’.
The neck is a comfortable 'C' shape, but the shorter scale length might feel a bit cramped for those with very large hands.
While not as rigid as solid wood, the Masonite is surprisingly resilient. Handle with reasonable care, avoiding excessive force or impacts.
