Frequently Asked Questions

The fanned fret spacing reduces string tension differences, making lower strings easier to fret and improving overall intonation across the range.
While designed for high-gain, the pickups’ output can be tamed with gain adjustments; however, they’re optimized for a more aggressive sound profile.
A hardshell case is highly recommended to protect the instrument, but a sturdy gig bag with padding will suffice for occasional transport.
