Frequently Asked Questions
The Tesla pickups offer a tighter, more articulate low-end than many vintage-style humbuckers, with a slightly more aggressive edge, but still retain a good amount of warmth.
The C-shape profile is generally considered comfortable, but the 40 mm nut width might feel a bit wide. It's best to try one if possible to confirm its suitability.
The active EQ significantly expands tonal possibilities, but requires a 9V battery; expect moderate battery life depending on EQ settings.
