Frequently Asked Questions
The varying scale lengths allow for tighter bass strings and easier access to higher notes, improving overall string tension and intonation across the extended range.
While they excel in high-gain genres, the pickups are surprisingly articulate and can handle rock and even some cleaner styles, though versatility is somewhat limited.
The thin C profile is generally comfortable, but players with very large hands might find it slightly cramped, especially in the lower frets.
