Frequently Asked Questions

Active pickups generally have a more aggressive, higher output tone with more sustain and a tighter low end, often lacking the more complex harmonic overtones of passive pickups.
The Modern C profile is generally considered a comfortable and versatile shape, but players with very large hands might find it a bit on the slimmer side.
Expect around 6-8 hours of playtime on a standard 9V battery, but this can vary depending on volume and pickup settings.
