Frequently Asked Questions
Passive MEC pickups offer a more vintage-style tone, less high-end sparkle and more of a raw, punchy character than their active counterparts – great for classic rock tones.
The ekanga adds a bit of visual flair, but it also subtly impacts the neck's stiffness and response, contributing to a slightly brighter tone.
Bolt-on necks generally offer a snappier attack and quicker response compared to set-neck designs, and they tend to be easier to adjust, though they may have slightly less overall sustain.
