Frequently Asked Questions
The Quad Coil offers a thicker, more focused tone with more output than a standard split-coil, while retaining a good amount of clarity.
The bypass is quite clean; it's more of a tone shaping tool than a drastic change – it rolls off the highs slightly.
Morado is denser than rosewood, so it tends to produce a slightly brighter, more articulate tone with a bit more snap.
