Frequently Asked Questions
The coil-split brightens the humbucker, offering a more focused, single-coil-like sound; it's useful for funk or cleaner tones.
The neck is a comfortable 'C' shape, but the 38mm nut width might feel a little narrower than some prefer for larger hands.
The open pore finish allows the ash grain to really shine, but it’s more susceptible to minor scratches and requires a bit more care than a thick, glossy finish.
