Frequently Asked Questions
It offers a very detailed and broad range of tonal control, especially in the midrange, allowing for precise shaping that’s often missing in simpler active systems.
While a 5-piece neck *can* offer slightly more sustain, the M7's bolt-on design is well-executed and provides excellent stability and a comfortable feel.
The Big Mass2 bridge adds substantial mass, which contributes to a more focused and resonant low-end, while also improving overall sustain and note clarity.
