Frequently Asked Questions
The active preamp boosts the signal and provides broad EQ control, allowing for a wider range of tones from aggressive to smooth, but it does require a 9V battery.
The ebony fingerboard is factory finished, but many players prefer to apply a lemon oil or similar product periodically to maintain its moisture and feel.
The HH configuration offers a thicker, more aggressive tone with increased sustain and a more powerful low-end compared to the single-coil/humbucker setup.
