Frequently Asked Questions
They offer a more aggressive, focused tone with increased clarity and output due to their active circuitry, and have a distinct 'grit' that sets them apart.
The medium oval profile is generally comfortable, but the 43mm nut width might feel a little snug for players with very large hands; a try-before-you-buy is recommended.
The six-bolt design increases wood-on-wood contact, theoretically enhancing sustain and improving neck stability compared to traditional neck joints.
