Frequently Asked Questions
Active pickups can exhibit some inherent hum, but it's generally manageable. They provide a high-output, scooped mid-range tone with a modern, aggressive edge.
Bolt-on necks typically have slightly less sustain than set-neck guitars, but the construction is very solid and the overall playability is excellent for the price point.
It uses standard 9V batteries, readily available everywhere. Battery life depends on playing time, but expect around 8-10 hours of continuous use.
