Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a bit more focused and less boomy; the shorter scale emphasizes the mid-range and adds a bit more 'thump' than a full-scale model.
Being single coils, they're susceptible to hum, particularly with high-gain amps, but it's manageable with proper grounding and noise reduction techniques.
Laurel is a fairly stable wood, but it's softer than rosewood, so it may show wear patterns a bit more readily with heavy use.
