Frequently Asked Questions
The Richard Z set prioritizes aggressive, modern tones with a strong emphasis on high output and single-coil simulations, differentiating it from more balanced or vintage-inspired Fluence offerings.
Absolutely, the ceramic bridge pickup’s high output handles drop tunings exceptionally well, maintaining clarity and punch even with lower tunings.
Follow the included wiring diagram carefully; the push/pull functionality requires a specific connection to the pots and switch, and incorrect wiring can impact the voicing selections.
