Frequently Asked Questions
The active EQ provides much more precise tonal shaping but relies on a battery; passive circuits offer a more 'organic' tone and require no power.
It's genuinely useful; it offers a wider palette of tones, allowing for more single-coil-like sounds alongside the full-on punch of the quad coil.
A bolt-on neck generally offers a slightly more defined, immediate attack, but may have marginally less overall sustain than a neck-through construction.
