Frequently Asked Questions

The Broad'Tronics are thicker and more compressed than P90s, with a warmer, more vocal midrange. They have a similar aggressive edge, but a different sonic character.
Yes, the neck has a high-gloss finish, which can feel slick initially. Many players find it comfortable, but some may prefer a satin finish for a less sticky feel.
The Streamliner series prioritizes affordability, so the build quality is good for the price point, but not quite as refined as the Professional or Custom Shop models. Expect slightly tighter tolerances and simpler hardware.
