Frequently Asked Questions
The VT set offers a similar tonal breadth, but with a more modern, slightly tighter low-end and a more articulate high-end – less of a scooped mid-range than many P/Js.
Sandberg’s bolt-on necks are exceptionally well-made, offering a fast feel and excellent sustain; it’s a deliberate design choice for responsiveness, not a cost-cutting measure.
Even in passive mode, the EQ circuit subtly shapes the tone, providing a touch more clarity and definition compared to a purely passive circuit – it's a refinement, not a drastic change.
