Frequently Asked Questions
Splitting the coils transforms the Broad'Tronics into single-coils, offering a brighter, more Fender-esque tone, ideal for cleaner styles.
The 'C' profile is generally comfortable, but the 1.6875 in nut width might feel a little snug for players with very large hands compared to some modern guitars.
The center block significantly reduces unwanted feedback at higher volumes while preserving a good amount of the hollowbody’s characteristic resonance and warmth.
