Frequently Asked Questions
The shorter scale length on the lower strings reduces tension, making them easier to play while maintaining a tighter feel and improved intonation.
While powerful, the Super 1s have a surprisingly versatile character; you can dial back the active EQ to achieve a more rounded, vintage tone, though they excel in modern applications.
The matt finish reduces stickiness and provides a more direct connection with your hands, often preferred by players who prefer a less slippery feel – it’s purely a matter of preference.
