Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, they are active pickups, requiring a 9V battery to operate and offering a distinct, higher-output signal compared to passive pickups.
The Slim Taper C profile is similar to a Fender-style neck, offering a comfortable feel with a slightly thinner profile towards the higher frets.
While mahogany adds weight, the overall design attempts to balance it, but it's likely to feel substantial; a strap is a must for comfortable playing.
