Frequently Asked Questions
The TB-11 is hotter than a standard '59, offering more sustain and a slightly more aggressive edge while retaining that vintage warmth.
While mahogany can enhance the warmth, the TB-11’s clarity should prevent muddiness; however, dialing back the bass slightly might be needed.
While usable, the TB-11’s emphasis on midrange and bass might lose some definition with very low tunings; a higher output pickup may be better suited.
