Frequently Asked Questions
The Fluence pickups offer a surprisingly articulate and balanced tone, avoiding the muddiness often associated with high-output humbuckers – they're quieter too.
The matte finish is more susceptible to fingerprints and minor scuffs than a gloss finish, but it's reasonably durable with proper care and a microfiber cloth.
The shorter scale provides a slightly looser string feel, making bending easier, but might require a slightly heavier gauge string for players accustomed to a longer scale.
