Frequently Asked Questions
The Evolution is warmer and more vintage-voiced; the Steve Morse Neck is brighter, tighter, and more aggressive, especially with higher gain.
While versatile, its inherent brightness might not be ideal for traditional blues or jazz; it's best suited for rock, fusion, and heavier styles.
The relatively high DC resistance might necessitate a tweak to your pots or capacitors for optimal performance, particularly if you’re coil-splitting.
