Frequently Asked Questions
It's a vintage-voiced pickup – expect a warmer, less pristine tone than modern systems, but it’s characterful and cuts through well for smaller gigs.
The neck profile is a comfortable 'C' shape, but the shorter scale length might feel a bit snug for those with very large hands; a try-before-you-buy is always recommended.
While the included strings are great, experimenting with silk and steel strings will really emphasize the guitar's mellow, vintage character.
