Frequently Asked Questions
The Isys+ is a step up; it offers a cleaner, more natural amplified tone than many basic pickups, and the built-in tuner is a handy bonus.
The neck is relatively slim and the 43mm nut width can feel a little snug for players with very large hands, but most will find it quite playable.
Gretsch generally uses decent hardware, and the Fishman tuner helps, but you’ll still want to check tuning regularly, especially with aggressive playing.
