Frequently Asked Questions
Richlite is denser than rosewood, contributing to a slightly brighter, more articulate tone and a very consistent, smooth feel – it’s less porous and resists humidity changes better.
The push/pull function accesses a different voicing of the pickup, offering a noticeable change in output and character, though it remains within the humbucker realm – expect a slightly more compressed and focused tone.
The thin 'U' profile is designed for speed and comfort, but players with very large hands might find it a bit slender – it's best to try it in person if possible.
