Frequently Asked Questions
Slim inCin is generally thinner and flatter than a traditional C profile, offering a faster, more modern feel, but may not suit players who prefer a chunkier neck.
They lean towards a higher output, modern voicing, offering more aggression than vintage humbuckers, but still retain clarity and definition.
The transition from 12 in to 16 in provides a comfortable playing experience, easing chording and allowing for easier soloing – a nice upgrade for most players.
