Frequently Asked Questions
The MEC pickups are voiced to emulate the classic Duncan humbucker, but they have a slightly more aggressive edge and a touch more clarity – think a more modern take on that vintage tone.
The neck width is 38.5 mm, which is a fairly standard width; most players with larger hands will find it comfortable, though those preferring a thinner profile might want to try it first.
Warwick RED strings are known for their bright tone but tend to lose their brilliance a bit faster than some other string types, so expect to change them every few weeks with regular playing.
