Frequently Asked Questions
Switching to passive mode tames the aggressive highs and tightens the low end, providing a more vintage, rounder sound.
The medium-small frets are manageable for bending, but experienced benders might find them slightly less forgiving than jumbo frets.
The Modern S bridge provides excellent string stability and sustain, with a wider string spacing that's comfortable for players with larger hands or those using thicker strings.
