Frequently Asked Questions
The Fluence pickups handle high gain exceptionally well, offering tight, focused distortion with minimal noise – a real benefit for heavy riffing.
Yes, the SpeedTaper profile is noticeably thinner and faster than a classic Les Paul, which some players may find more comfortable for shredding.
While primarily designed for heavier genres, the coil-splitting does provide a usable, though somewhat thin, rhythm tone for cleaner passages – it's not a primary selling point.
