Frequently Asked Questions
Fluence pickups are ceramic-magnet, potted pickups, offering a more compressed and punchy sound with reduced noise and increased clarity compared to many vintage-style humbuckers.
Yes, the push/pulls are functional and intuitive; the volume knob likely toggles between full volume and a reduced output, while the tone knob likely switches between a standard tone circuit and a bypass for more direct signal.
The layered construction enhances stability, minimizing warping and providing a balanced tone – the walnut adds warmth, the padauk adds clarity and bite, all while maintaining excellent sustain and resonance.
