Frequently Asked Questions
Fluence pickups offer a unique, almost 'silent' operation – they don't require batteries for their active circuitry. They deliver a powerful, articulate tone that’s distinct from many other active pickups, often considered more organic.
The 'C' profile is generally considered a comfortable all-rounder. However, the extra-long scale and 45 mm nut width might feel a bit wider than some players prefer; it's best to try before you buy if possible.
Satin black finishes are known to show minor imperfections more readily than gloss finishes. Regular cleaning with a soft cloth and occasional waxing will help preserve its appearance and protect the wood.
