Frequently Asked Questions
The S-1 switch essentially coils splits the P pickup, adding a brighter, more focused tone and expanding the pickup combinations available.
While it offers a comfortable transition, beginners might initially prefer a more traditional radius; however, it encourages better technique as skill improves.
The HiMass bridge adds increased clarity and sustain, resulting in a more resonant and defined low end, especially noticeable at higher volumes.
