Frequently Asked Questions

It's a decent, serviceable humbucker – a little softer and less aggressive than a high-output aftermarket pickup, but still delivers a good, warm bridge tone.
It's functional, but requires a bit of setup to avoid tuning issues when used extensively; beginners may want to have a tech adjust it.
It's similar in overall shape, slightly thinner, and has a more consistent feel along its length – a bit more modern and easier to navigate for some players.
