Frequently Asked Questions
Bartolini's MK-1 system offers a balanced 3-band EQ with a musicality often missing in other active systems – it’s less surgical and more about shaping the overall tone.
While it won't offer the sustain of a neck-through, the Lakland's bolt-on neck is expertly crafted and PLEK'd, minimizing any tonal impact and prioritizing comfortable access to the upper registers.
The spalted maple adds a layer of complexity to the ash's natural resonance, contributing a slightly more 'woody' and nuanced character – it’s not a dramatic difference, but it’s definitely noticeable.
