Frequently Asked Questions
The VTC acts as a vintage-style tone control, subtly rolling off highs and adding warmth, and its push/pull bypass allows for a more modern, brighter tone.
While set-necks are often associated with sustain, the bolt-on construction here delivers a quicker response and a more immediate attack, which many players prefer for a more 'alive' feel.
The pickups are designed to work seamlessly with the Sadowsky active preamp, allowing for a wide range of tones, from clean and vintage to aggressive and modern, all while maintaining clarity and definition.
