Frequently Asked Questions

Broad'Trons are thicker and warmer than P90s, with more sustain and a smoother high end, but still retain a raw, vintage edge.
The thin 'U' profile is generally comfortable, but some players with very large hands might prefer a slightly thicker neck.
While it’s well-built, the semi-hollow design can be prone to feedback at extremely high volumes, so careful amp placement and EQ adjustments are necessary.
