Frequently Asked Questions
The TB Pro is a faithful recreation, offering similar output and tonal characteristics, but with a slightly more modern clarity – not a direct clone.
The neck is a bit on the thicker side, which some find comfortable, but those with smaller hands might prefer a slimmer profile – it’s worth trying before you buy.
It's a true blend, allowing you to mix the humbucker and single-coil for a wide range of tones, not just a simple switch between the two.
