Frequently Asked Questions
The ML pickups have a more complex EQ curve, offering more mid-range presence and a smoother high-end, avoiding harshness often found in stock pickups.
While vintage-style, the tremolo can be prone to tuning instability with heavy use; regular setup and potentially upgraded springs are recommended.
Bolt-on necks generally have a slightly snappier feel and a bit less sustain than set-necks, but the alder body compensates well for this, offering a good balance.
