Frequently Asked Questions
The SIRE LC humbucker delivers a warmer, more articulate tone than many hotter pickups, leaning towards a classic PAF-style response with a touch more clarity.
While functional, the tremolo system is fairly basic and might benefit from a slight setup by a professional to ensure stable tuning, especially with heavy use.
Rosewood naturally contains oils, but this fingerboard shouldn't feel excessively oily. Regular wiping with a soft cloth is recommended to maintain its appearance and playability.
