Frequently Asked Questions
The LH3 adds a noticeable boost and shaping capabilities, enhancing low-end presence and allowing for precise tonal adjustments beyond passive circuits.
PLEK ensures perfectly level frets, consistent action, and improved intonation across the entire fretboard, resulting in a smoother, more comfortable playing experience and fewer buzzing issues.
Coil-splitting the bridge pickup opens up a wider range of tones, providing a more vintage-style single-coil sound that's useful for cleaner styles or different effects.
