Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, they’re standard mini-humbucker size and easily swapped out for aftermarket pickups if you desire a different tone.
Generally, yes; it's typical Harley Benton – good value for the money, but don't expect boutique-level finishing or perfect fretwork straight out of the box.
