Frequently Asked Questions
TV Jones pickups generally offer a more articulate and slightly hotter output, retaining vintage character while providing a more focused tone.
The Bigsby B6 is relatively easy to use with a gentle touch; proper setup is key to avoiding tuning instability, which is common with tremolo systems.
The twin-mute system uses small metal bars that attach to the strings to create a percussive, dampened effect – great for mimicking a banjo or adding rhythmic textures.
