Frequently Asked Questions

Active pickups *can* be prone to hum, but the HBZ pickups are reasonably quiet. A noise gate isn't strictly necessary, but might be beneficial for very high-gain settings.
The 'C' profile is fairly standard – similar to a vintage Fender neck, but slightly more substantial. It’s comfortable for most players, but those used to extremely thin necks might find it a bit thicker.
This guitar thrives on amps with a bit of aggression – think higher gain amps or amp modelers. A clean amp will work, but you’ll be missing out on the full potential of those active pickups.
