Frequently Asked Questions

It’s essentially a volume boost, adding a bit more 'oomph' for fills or solos – a subtle but noticeable change.
While the Ignition SE series offers great value, the construction isn't as refined as the higher-end Artist models, but still solid for the price point.
It captures the essence of the vintage tone, but the originals often have a more aged, broken-in feel and possibly slightly different pickup voicing due to age and manufacturing variations.
