Frequently Asked Questions
The Crunch Lab is more focused and tighter than the Super Distortion, offering a more modern, aggressive tone with less overall low-end rumble.
While F-spaced, the Floyd Rose's aggressive tremolo action could potentially cause issues with string breakage or tuning instability; careful setup is crucial.
The binding is surprisingly well-done for a pickup in this price range; it provides a touch of class without looking plasticky or poorly applied.
