Frequently Asked Questions
It essentially splits the coils of one pickup, offering a brighter, single-coil-like sound for more versatility, though it's not a true single-coil response.
The AM Artstar profile is generally considered a medium-thin C shape – comfortable for most players, but not as slim as some Ibanez necks.
The hollowbody construction offers a different kind of sustain; it’s more resonant and airy than a solid-body, but will naturally have slightly less overall sustain.
