Frequently Asked Questions

The varying scale lengths optimize string tension, generally leading to improved intonation accuracy, especially on the lower strings, and reducing the need for extensive adjustments.
They are remarkably quiet; the Fishman Fluence technology significantly reduces noise and hum, making them a great option for recording or playing in quiet environments.
Bolt-on construction provides a more direct and immediate feel and a tighter, more focused low-end response, often preferred for its articulate attack and quicker transient response.
