Frequently Asked Questions

Mojotone consulted original specs, so these aim to replicate that era's tone and construction, though modern materials may yield slightly improved reliability.
While technically possible, the tonal balance will be drastically altered, and the bridge/neck pairing is designed to complement each other.
They're voiced for vintage tones, so extreme drop tunings might reveal a slight reduction in low-end fullness compared to modern high-output pickups.
