Frequently Asked Questions
Fluence pickups offer a quieter operation and a more consistent tone across the volume knob, while often retaining a vintage vibe, though they might lack the raw edge of some open-coil designs.
The thin 'U' profile is generally comfortable, but those with exceptionally large hands might find it slightly snug; it's best to try one in person if possible.
The finish is generally excellent, but the darker cherry burst tends to highlight any imperfections or fingerprints, so care is needed during cleaning and handling.
