Frequently Asked Questions
It's not going to match a boutique pickup, but the ceramic humbucker delivers a surprisingly punchy and aggressive tone, great for rock and heavier styles.
The 'C' profile neck and narrower nut width (42mm) are generally comfortable, but players with very large hands might find it slightly cramped.
The tremolo is functional, but basic; expect some tuning instability with heavy use. Adjustments are straightforward, but consider a setup for optimal performance.
