Frequently Asked Questions
The Evertune system maintains consistent string tension, which alters the 'feel' slightly – it's more stable under bending and palm muting, but some players might perceive a minor change in resonance.
Fluence pickups are remarkably quiet, even at high gain, and they are completely passive – they don’t require any batteries.
The finish is a thin, nitrocellulose lacquer, which will develop a beautiful patina over time but requires more careful handling to avoid scratches and chips than a thicker polyurethane coating.
