Frequently Asked Questions

The PFR pickups aim for a vintage humbucker tone, but with a slightly more focused and articulate response – less 'muddy' than some older designs.
Rosewood fingerboards naturally develop oiliness over time, requiring occasional cleaning and conditioning to maintain a smooth playing feel.
The MR4 bridge is a competent design, providing good sustain and reasonable tuning stability for its price point; it’s not a high-end aftermarket option, but it performs well.
