Frequently Asked Questions

The Alnico 5s are brighter and more articulate than the original pickups, offering a more modern clarity while still retaining a vintage-inspired character.
Bolt-on necks generally offer a snappier attack and easier access for repairs, and it’s a perfectly acceptable construction method for this price point, although it doesn’t offer the same level of sustain as a glued-in neck.
While the shorter scale does affect the fundamental frequencies, the Alnico 5 pickups and alder body provide enough punch to avoid a thin or weak low-end – it’s surprisingly robust.
