Frequently Asked Questions
The Broad'Tronics offer a thicker, more compressed sound than P90s, with a slightly more refined high-end and a more controlled output.
The thin 'U' profile is generally comfortable, but players with very large hands might find it slightly snug, though still manageable.
The B70 Bigsby is well-damped and generally stable, but aggressive tremolo use will require more frequent tuning adjustments than a hardtail.
