Frequently Asked Questions
The 2-way active circuit adds tonal shaping options like treble/bass boost, but also introduces a preamp bypass for a more transparent, passive sound.
Roasted maple is extremely stable; you’ll experience minimal neck movement or fret sprout even with seasonal changes, which is a huge plus.
The 'modern' positioning generally means the pickups are slightly closer to the bridge for a more aggressive, focused sound, compared to a more scooped vintage placement.
