Frequently Asked Questions
Unlike simple coil-splitting, the 'Voices' offer distinct tonal variations within the humbucker structure, providing more nuanced sound shaping.
The pre-wired potentiometers simplify installation, but soldering experience is still recommended for best results. Proper grounding is essential for optimal noise reduction.
Fluence pickups are known for excellent power efficiency; expect several hundred hours of playtime from a standard 9V battery, even longer with the optional rechargeable battery.
