Frequently Asked Questions
Passive mode offers a more vintage, round tone while active engages the 3-band EQ for modern clarity and aggressive output.
The Sandberg neck profile is generally considered a comfortable 'C' shape, but it’s slightly thinner than some, so players with very large hands might find it a touch snug.
The Zebra finish is a thin lacquer, so it's susceptible to wear marks and scratches if not carefully maintained – a good quality polish is recommended.
