Frequently Asked Questions
The PowerSpan pickups offer a slightly more aggressive, modern tone with a bit more output than the classic SR pickups, but still retain a good amount of clarity.
Jatoba can sometimes exhibit a slightly different feel initially, but the fretwork on this model is generally well-executed and shouldn't present significant fret buzz issues.
It's adequate for basic adjustments – bass, mids, treble – but more advanced players might find it limiting if they're used to more comprehensive EQ options.
