Frequently Asked Questions

The wider spacing generally allows for easier, smoother string bending without the pickup base interfering.
While possible, the F-spacing may require some minor routing adjustments to prevent string slot contact and ensure optimal performance.
The Crunch Lab is generally hotter and more aggressive than the Bridge Buzzer, offering a tighter low-end and less vintage character.
