Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a more comprehensive 3-band EQ with a push/pull volume control for added versatility, offering more nuanced tonal adjustments than the simpler EQ found on some lower-tier models.
The neck is a comfortable 'C' shape, but the 38mm nut width might feel a little narrower than some prefer with very large hands – it’s manageable but something to consider.
The Big Breaks have a more aggressive, defined low-end and tighter high-end than many standard humbuckers, providing more clarity and punch in a band mix.
