Frequently Asked Questions

In active mode, you get a significant boost in volume and a more aggressive, scooped mid-range. Passive mode provides a more natural, vintage-style tone, retaining more of the wood's character.
The 'Modern D' profile is generally considered comfortable, but it’s a thinner profile. Players with very large hands might find it a bit narrow, though most will find it manageable.
The humbuckers are versatile; they handle clean tones well and really dig in for distortion and aggressive styles. The active preamp allows for significant tonal shaping to suit a wide range of amp settings.
