Frequently Asked Questions

The Speed-D is generally thinner and flatter than a traditional 'C' shape, offering faster playing, but might feel less comfortable for players who prefer a thicker neck.
Like most humbuckers, they can exhibit some hum, especially at higher gain settings – a noise gate might be beneficial for recording in quiet environments.
At 20 watts, it's best suited for practice and home recording; a larger gig would require a more powerful amp.
