Frequently Asked Questions
Broad'Trons are hotter and have a more compressed, slightly smoother tone than P90s, offering a thicker, more saturated sound.
The center block helps, but you’ll still need to be mindful of volume and amp settings; higher gain settings might require careful EQ adjustments.
The 'Soft C' is a fairly standard profile, comfortable for most players, but it's not as slim as some modern guitars – expect a slightly more vintage feel.
