Frequently Asked Questions

The fanned fret spacing corrects intonation issues common in 8-string guitars, and string spacing is comfortably wider than a standard guitar, allowing for easier muting.
While designed for high-gain, the HBZ pickups offer decent clarity and can produce usable clean tones with proper amp settings and EQ.
The Modern C profile is fairly standard, offering a comfortable balance between speed and grip, but it might feel slightly thinner than some traditional C profiles.
