Frequently Asked Questions
The EMG pickups offer a much more aggressive and defined sound, lacking the more vintage, rounder character of the older Spector pickups. It's a significant tonal shift.
The EMG BTS preamp is fairly efficient; you can expect around 6-8 hours of playtime on a standard 9V battery under normal use, but having a spare on hand is always a good idea.
The Euro Classic's neck profile is a 'C' shape – comfortable and familiar, not overly thick or thin. It strikes a good balance for most players' hands.
