Frequently Asked Questions

The TEC circuit adds some warmth, but it can get a little muddy with very heavy distortion – better suited for cleaner or slightly driven tones.
While a set-neck generally offers more sustain, the PB-20’s build quality is decent and the poplar body compensates somewhat. It’s not a major issue for most players.
The fretwork is serviceable straight out of the box, but some players might want to have a professional level and polish for optimal playability - a common occurrence at this price point.
