Frequently Asked Questions
The neck tone pulls to a clear chime voice, while the bridge pulls to a slightly overwound single-coil voicing; both offer distinct tonal shifts without drastically altering the core character.
Fluence pickups are exceptionally quiet, effectively canceling out most hum and noise, making them a great choice for players who use high gain amplifiers.
While standard pots will work, the included pots are specifically chosen to optimize the voicing controls' functionality; using different values might affect the tone and responsiveness.
