Frequently Asked Questions
The MEC pickups are a very good approximation of the Music Man sound – a bit less aggressive and more focused, offering a slightly more refined character.
The neck has a comfortable, slightly rounded profile – it’s not overly thick, so it should be accommodating for most hand sizes, but it's not a super-thin profile.
The strings are standard size and easily replaceable. For a heavier playing style, consider moving to .050in - .105in strings to handle the tension and deliver more punch.
