Frequently Asked Questions

Nordstrand pickups offer a more articulate and vintage-inspired tone, with a wider dynamic range and a more pronounced low-end presence compared to Ibanez’s stock pickups.

The neck profile is a comfortable 'C' shape, and while the 34-inch scale can feel longer, the neck's width and shape are designed to accommodate a variety of hand sizes.

The Hexa Mid allows for precise mid-frequency shaping, but it has a learning curve; mastering its nuances requires some experimentation and understanding of EQ principles.
