Frequently Asked Questions

The active preamp boosts the signal, adding more low-end and sustain, but be mindful of potential hum at higher gain levels.
The 'D' profile is fairly standard – it's a comfortable medium thickness, but players with very large hands might find it slightly snug.
The build is surprisingly solid for the price point, though the finish and hardware aren't quite as flawless as premium-priced instruments; it's a fantastic foundation to build upon.
