Frequently Asked Questions
The varied scale lengths allow for optimal string tension across all strings, resulting in a more even feel and improved intonation, especially on the lower strings.
Yes, the pickups are standard 3-band design and can be replaced, though you'll need to ensure compatibility with the pickup routing and wiring.
