Frequently Asked Questions
The EMG 81 provides a high-output signal, resulting in a thick, aggressive tone with plenty of sustain and a scooped midrange characteristic of modern metal.
The shorter scale length provides a slightly looser feel, which some find comfortable, but the mahogany body's weight might become a factor during longer sessions.
TonePros bridges are known for their excellent tuning stability and sustain, a significant upgrade over basic bridges, especially when playing aggressively.
