Frequently Asked Questions
The Red Hot pickups are significantly hotter, providing more output and a tighter, more aggressive tone – expect more bite and sustain.
The Super Heavy Relic finish is quite pronounced; it’s far beyond a light aging process and will have a distinct, worn appearance.
The Tone Saver bleed circuit helps retain high-end clarity when the tone knob is rolled back, preventing a loss of brightness that’s common with vintage wiring.
