Frequently Asked Questions

The aging is purely cosmetic; it doesn't impact the guitar's tone or playability. It's a visual detail intended to give it a broken-in feel.
It's fairly intuitive; a simple push changes the pickup voicing, offering a hotter, more aggressive tone alongside the standard setting.
The asymmetrical Slim Taper is thinner and flatter than a traditional 'C', offering quicker access to higher frets and potentially being more comfortable for players with smaller hands.
