Frequently Asked Questions
The 'inCin' profile is slightly flatter and thinner than a standard 'C', offering a faster, more modern feel, but still comfortable for longer playing sessions.
The .010-.046 strings are decent for general use, but you might want to experiment with heavier gauges for a tighter feel and improved low-end response typical for headless instruments.
The coil split provides a usable single-coil tone, but it’s more of a chimey, mid-focused sound than a classic single-coil – expect a slightly darker, smoother single-coil character.
