Frequently Asked Questions
It's less aggressive and more focused; it provides a warmer, more controlled tone with less low-end rumble than typical full-size humbuckers.
Primarily cosmetic, but the binding does add a small amount of mass and can subtly affect sustain and resonance – it's a very minor effect.
The D'Angelico offers a very respectable level of build quality for its price range; the Grover tuners and Graph Tech nut are noticeable upgrades over budget alternatives.
