Frequently Asked Questions
The Sonicore pickup is a piezo, providing a clean, natural amplified tone – not as 'woody' as some magnetic pickups, but very articulate and feedback resistant.
The 'C' profile is fairly standard and generally comfortable, though the 44.5mm nut width might feel a bit snug for players with very large hands.
Westerly scalloped bracing provides increased resonance and projection while maintaining structural integrity; it contributes to a more balanced and responsive tone and improved playability.
