Frequently Asked Questions

The Infinity R offers a higher output and slightly more aggressive tone than the Quantum series, leaning more towards a modern metal sound.
The GRGM profile is relatively slim and comfortable, but some players with very large hands might find it slightly narrow – it’s best to try one if possible.
These humbuckers shine with a moderately driven amp – think something with a good amount of gain to really bring out their character, but also capable of clean tones.
