Frequently Asked Questions
The Broad'Tron has more midrange presence and a tighter low-end than a P-90, offering a more focused and articulate sound.
The 'C' profile is generally comfortable, but the shorter scale might feel a little cramped, so trying it out is recommended if you have particularly large hands.
The coil-split provides a surprisingly usable single-coil tone—it's not a Strat-style sparkle, but a warmer, rounder single-coil voice that's great for cleaner rhythms.
