Frequently Asked Questions
Fluence pickups offer a more compressed and defined tone, less noise, and a wider dynamic range compared to many traditional humbuckers.
While it limits the depth of dive bombs slightly, the recessed design provides a cleaner look and better upper fret access – a worthwhile trade-off for most players.
The neck profile is a modern 'C' shape, slightly flatter than some of Jackson's vintage-inspired necks, providing a comfortable and fast playing experience for modern styles.
