Frequently Asked Questions
It's a different beast; the ceramic pickups offer more output and a brighter edge, lacking the complex warmth of vintage alnico pickups, but still fun and versatile.
The 'C' shape neck is fairly standard and generally comfortable, though the nut width might feel slightly narrower than some prefer for big hands.
The block saddles and top-load design help, but extreme drop tunings might require more careful setup and potentially aftermarket upgrades for optimal intonation.
