Frequently Asked Questions
It's a completely passive system; no batteries are involved. It subtly cancels hum by phase-shifting the signals from the single coils, maintaining the tonal integrity of the pickups.
Suhr's roasted maple necks typically have a satin finish that's thinner than a traditional gloss, offering a fast and comfortable playing experience.
The pickguard primarily acts as a cosmetic element; its impact on tone is minimal and negligible for most players.
