Frequently Asked Questions

The finish is a gloss polyester, which offers decent protection, but expect some minor scuffs with regular playing. A good quality polish will keep it looking sharp.
The fretwork is generally good for the price point, but some minor fret-ending sharpness is common. A professional leveling and polishing will greatly improve playability.
The coil-split provides a brighter, single-coil-like tone, but it's not as nuanced as a true single-coil pickup. It’s a useful feature for expanding tonal options, though.
