Frequently Asked Questions
It's a step above many factory pickups; it aims for a more acoustic-like sound, rather than a heavily processed one, with useful onboard EQ for shaping your tone.
The Queensland maple neck has a comfortable, relatively standard 'C' shape, but it's slightly thinner than some – players with very large hands might prefer something a bit thicker.
Blackwood contributes to a darker, richer tone with strong bass response and a complex overtone structure; it provides a lovely warmth and sustain compared to, say, mahogany.
