Frequently Asked Questions
They offer a more aggressive output and clarity than many vintage-style pickups, leaning towards a modern, defined tone suitable for funk, rock, and contemporary genres.
It's a comfortably rounded 'C' shape, but with a slightly thinner feel than a traditional vintage 'C', aiming for a modern playing experience without being overly slim.
