Frequently Asked Questions
It's known for a more articulate and balanced tone than many traditional humbuckers, offering a wider range of usable sounds without sacrificing punch.
The 2-way EQ is relatively straightforward, with easily accessible treble and bass controls. The push/pull bypass is a great feature for quickly switching to a passive sound.
Bolt-on necks generally offer a snappier attack and slightly shorter sustain compared to set-neck construction, contributing to a more immediate and responsive feel.
