Frequently Asked Questions

The piezo adds a natural acoustic element, blending with the humbuckers for a layered, complex tone; it’s excellent for adding shimmer, warmth, or simulating a double-tracked sound.
The neck has a comfortable, modern 'C' shape with a slightly wider nut width, which generally accommodates larger hands well, though individual preferences always vary.
The RMC bridge enhances sustain and provides a more vibrant resonance, especially when utilizing the piezo system, adding a richness and depth to the overall tone.
