Frequently Asked Questions

The MEC pickups offer a slightly more refined and articulate tone than many other MM-style pickups, with a more focused midrange and slightly less aggressive output.
Yes, the battery compartment is accessible; it’s a standard lithium battery, and you can expect roughly 10-12 hours of playtime, but this varies with preamp usage.
Like all instruments with multi-piece necks, it’s essential to store it in a stable environment; the Wenge fingerboard is particularly sensitive, so humidity control is important to prevent movement.
