Frequently Asked Questions
It's a surprisingly articulate humbucker, leaning towards a vintage PAF-style response, not overly high-output or muddy.
The 'C' shape is fairly standard, but the 42mm nut width might feel a little narrower than some modern guitars; it's comfortable but not overly chunky.
The 2-post trem is decent, but it’s not a high-end floating trem – lighter use is recommended to maintain tuning stability.
