Frequently Asked Questions
The tremolo is functional, but expect some tuning instability with aggressive use; a setup and potentially upgraded tremolo springs will help.
Yes, they can produce clean tones, but they’re inherently brighter than alnico pickups, so you might need EQ adjustments.
The C-shape is fairly standard and generally comfortable, but some players with very large hands might prefer a thicker neck profile.
