Frequently Asked Questions
They're more articulate and vocal, with a slightly scooped midrange, providing a more 'present' and less 'muddy' tone than standard CS pickups.
The relicing is tastefully done, mimicking a well-played vintage instrument; it’s not overly aggressive and shouldn't impact the guitar's structural integrity.
The 10/56 V profile is noticeably flatter and has a distinct 'V' shape in the center, offering a different feel for players accustomed to more rounded profiles, providing a more secure grip.
