Frequently Asked Questions
The pickup split essentially turns each quad coil into a traditional humbucker, offering a more vintage-style, less aggressive tone suitable for Motown or funk.
Yes, the passive mode reduces the output slightly but provides a more organic, less processed sound; the active mode boosts the signal and enhances the EQ’s effect.
Ebony is naturally harder than rosewood, so it will show wear less quickly, but it can still be susceptible to scratches; regular conditioning with a fretboard oil is recommended to prevent dryness.
