Frequently Asked Questions
Active pickups are generally quieter than passives, but susceptibility to noise depends on your rig and shielding. Proper grounding is key to minimizing hum.
The C profile is a fairly standard, comfortable shape – similar to many vintage Fender and Gibson necks, offering a familiar feel for most players.
Roseacer can sometimes exhibit slight fret buzz, especially in the lower frets. A professional setup will usually resolve this issue.
