Frequently Asked Questions

The mini-humbucker provides a brighter, more articulate tone than a traditional humbucker, with a slightly tighter low-end – think more clarity, less mud.
Yes, the center block helps to focus the sustain and reduce unwanted feedback, creating a more controlled and defined tone while still retaining a good amount of semi-hollow resonance.
The 'C' profile is a fairly standard, comfortable shape – not too thick, not too thin, making it accessible to a wide range of players, though it’s slightly more substantial than some of their slimmer profiles.
