Frequently Asked Questions

The LH3 EQ offers a significant boost and shaping ability, but it retains a natural character – not overly colored like some active systems.
Absolutely. Lakland's bolt-on necks are renowned for their strength and stability, and the precise join is virtually undetectable when playing.
It won't give you a true single-coil chime, but it does thin out the sound, adding some brighter, more percussive tones for funk or slap bass applications.
