Frequently Asked Questions
It’s unique; it's designed to mimic the tonal characteristics of vintage pickups while offering the output and clarity of a modern humbucker – a great all-rounder.
The push/pull function bypasses the preamp, allowing for a very authentic vintage tone, but the active EQ provides a useful boost when needed.
Morado is denser and slightly harder, resulting in a snappier attack and a brighter tone than rosewood, while still being smooth to play.
