Frequently Asked Questions
The balance knob blends the P and humbucker signals; it's surprisingly clean, allowing for a wide range of tones without significant phase cancellation.
Sadowsky uses a fairly standard active circuit; a qualified technician should be able to diagnose and repair or replace it, though parts availability is generally good.
Bolt-on construction generally provides a more focused, defined low end compared to neck-through – it’s a characteristic Sadowsky design choice for a more vintage feel and response.
