Frequently Asked Questions
It's a step up from the older Heritage I/II, offering the crucial center frequency control for more precise mid-range shaping.
While a set-neck offers a different character, the bolt-on construction here is well-executed, and the roasted maple contributes excellent sustain and clarity.
The Super J pickup provides plenty of output for distortion, though you may need to adjust the mid control to prevent muddiness – it's surprisingly responsive.
