Frequently Asked Questions

Carbon fiber generally offers quicker response and a more focused tone with less sustain than traditional woods like maple, lending itself well to amplified performance.
While not a simple DIY project, the active pickup module is replaceable, although it would likely require a qualified technician.
The added string shifts the balance slightly, and the wider neck demands a bit of adjustment, but most players adapt quickly with practice.
