Frequently Asked Questions
The Sandberg EQ allows for active boost and shaping, but switching to passive provides a more transparent, vintage-style tone with a slightly warmer character.
While neck-through can offer slightly more sustain, Sandberg’s bolt-on design is expertly executed and utilizes a maple neck for rigidity; the difference is minimal and often imperceptible in real-world playing.
The Blacklabel pickups offer a higher output than many vintage-voiced pickups, with a more aggressive and modern tone, leaning towards a punchy, defined sound rather than a round, mellow one.
