Frequently Asked Questions

The LH-100s are a good value offering, delivering decent output and a fairly balanced tone, but lack the nuanced articulation and higher-end clarity of LTD’s premium pickups.
The thin 'U' profile is generally comfortable, but the 42mm nut width might feel a bit snug for players with very large hands – it’s best to try one if possible.
The black finish is prone to showing fingerprints and minor scratches, so a good quality polish and careful handling will keep it looking its best.
