Frequently Asked Questions
The push/pull pot bypasses the active electronics, giving you a completely passive tone. The active circuit adds a subtle EQ boost, enhancing the existing tone rather than drastically altering it.
It's a blend control, allowing you to adjust the relative output of the bridge and middle pickups for a wider range of tonal possibilities.
No, the quick-release system is designed to maintain intonation. It simply streamlines the string changing process without impacting the bridge’s alignment.
