Frequently Asked Questions
The coaxial cable minimizes capacitance, resulting in a tighter low-end and improved high-frequency response – it helps the signal travel cleaner.
While it can be used for cleaner tones, its inherently aggressive nature makes it better suited for more driven sounds; it might be too much for delicate jazz voicings.
Alnico V magnets typically provide a brighter, more articulate tone with a tighter low-end than Alnico II or III magnets, giving it a more modern edge.
