Frequently Asked Questions
The Tesla pickups are surprisingly good – punchy and articulate, leaning towards a modern, slightly aggressive tone, but versatile enough to cover a range of styles.
The 'C' profile is generally comfortable, but the 35” scale can feel a stretch. Players with smaller hands might find it a bit unwieldy, though manageable with practice.
The active EQ is generally reliable, but requires a 9V battery. Expect around 6-8 hours of playtime on a fresh battery, depending on volume and EQ settings.
