Frequently Asked Questions
The 'OC Mod' designation indicates an open-core design, which allows for more string vibration and a more responsive, dynamic feel compared to fully potted Fluence pickups.
The included components are of good quality and suitable for most installations, but experienced techs may prefer to use their own premium pots and wiring for maximum signal optimization.
These are active pickups and require a 9V battery for operation; they don’t need a preamp but will benefit from a buffer if your signal chain is long or weak.
