Frequently Asked Questions
The Thin uin is noticeably flatter and thinner than a traditional 'C' shape, providing a faster feel, especially for players used to modern neck profiles.
Filter'Trons, like many vintage-style pickups, can exhibit a bit more inherent noise than modern noiseless pickups, but the Treble Bleed circuit helps mitigate this.
Laurel is a durable fingerboard wood, but it’s not as resistant to wear as ebony; regular conditioning will help maintain its appearance and playability.
