Frequently Asked Questions

The Haymaker pickups offer a more defined and modern low-end response, with tighter bass and more articulation than older designs, while still retaining a warm, musical character.
Yes, it's a notable upgrade. The transition from a wider radius at the nut to a flatter radius higher up allows for easier bending and faster playing without fret buzz.
