Frequently Asked Questions
The Sandberg has a more defined, slightly less scooped low-end and a brighter top-end due to the Alnico 5 pickups; it's more articulate overall.
It's primarily cosmetic, though the slightly worn finish might subtly affect resonance, likely in a positive way, but it's negligible.
The 6-bolt neck offers a bit more sustain and a slightly more modern feel than a purely vintage bolt-on, while retaining a comfortable, familiar profile.
