Frequently Asked Questions
The Opus-1 BK is noticeably lower in output than a JB and has a smoother, less aggressive high-end, offering a more vintage and balanced tone.
While possible, the 52mm spacing might require slight adjustments to the pickup cavity or string slotting for optimal performance and clearance.
It's a moderate reading, placing it in the mid-range for bridge humbuckers, offering a good balance between output and clarity – not overly hot, but still with plenty of drive.
