Frequently Asked Questions
The EQ offers more precise shaping of your sound, particularly in the mid-range and high frequencies, allowing for a wider range of tonal possibilities than a traditional setup.
While designed for versatility, the pickguard’s dimensions and screw hole placement may require slight modifications to fit certain less common guitar models – always verify measurements before installation.
The active preamp adds a subtle warmth and sustain while providing a more consistent output level, but some players may perceive a slight departure from a purely passive vintage tone.
