Frequently Asked Questions
The modern D profile is thinner than a Fender AP, offering a faster feel, but still comfortable and well-shaped.
They are genuinely custom-wound by Harley Benton’s pickup team, offering a more unique and refined sound compared to standard offerings.
It's functional and usable, but requires a careful setup and isn’t built for extreme tremolo abuse – think more subtle vibrato than full-on shredding.
