Frequently Asked Questions
Fluence pickups are ceramic-powered and virtually silent, offering a very clean signal and a distinct, articulate tone with a modern edge.
The Thin U profile is relatively slim, so players with larger hands or who prefer a more substantial neck might find it a bit too narrow, though it's still comfortable for most.
You'll want to use heavier gauge strings – typically 16-56 or even 17-58 – to maintain proper tension and avoid a floppy feel with the 27” scale.
