Frequently Asked Questions

The body sensor is more sensitive and captures a wider dynamic range than a standard acoustic pickup, often producing a brighter, more detailed tone.
It takes a little getting used to, as some positions blend pickups in unexpected ways, but experimentation reveals a wide range of tones.
The T5 Crave profile is generally considered a medium-thin C shape, comfortable for most players, and should be manageable even for those with smaller hands.
