Frequently Asked Questions

The B-50 is well-integrated, but aggressive tremolo use will require more frequent tuning adjustments than a fixed bridge.
The medium oval profile is generally accommodating, but those with very large hands might find it slightly snug – a visit to a local store is recommended.
The bass contour acts as a mid-cut and low-boost, adding warmth and perceived fullness; it's subtle but useful for shaping the P90's character.
