Frequently Asked Questions

The split coil offers a similar warmth and growl, but with a slightly more modern, less muddy character, and a bit more output.
While not a powerhouse, the 20W amp is adequate for practice and small, intimate performances; a larger venue would require external amplification.
The Modern C profile is relatively slim and comfortable, which might feel a bit thinner if you're accustomed to a more substantial neck.
