Frequently Asked Questions
The active preamp boosts the signal and allows for precise control over treble and bass frequencies, resulting in a more defined and sculpted tone, but it’s dependent on battery power.
Sadowsky's roasted maple necks have a relatively thin, satin finish, providing a fast and comfortable feel with excellent resonance and sustain.
The 'modern' position moves the pickups closer to the bridge for a more aggressive, articulate sound with enhanced clarity and attack.
