Frequently Asked Questions

The TV Jones pickups capture the essence of vintage FilterTrons – that bright, slightly gritty tone – but often with a bit more clarity and output.
The B6C tremolo is generally smooth and reliable, though it requires a bit of practice to avoid excessive string bending; setup is key for optimal performance.
The compound radius (9.5 in to 12 in) is designed to be comfortable for both chording and bending, but the transition may feel slightly unusual for players accustomed to a completely flat or consistently round radius.
