Frequently Asked Questions
The active preamp boosts the signal and allows for more tonal shaping, delivering a more defined low end and increased output compared to passive pickups.
The 'D' profile is a fairly standard, medium-thickness neck, but players with very large hands might find it slightly snug; it’s best to try one if possible.
The Okoume body is known to be a bit more susceptible to finish checking than some other woods, so careful handling and a good gig bag are recommended.
