Frequently Asked Questions

The MEC pickup offers a more organic, less processed tone – think a warmer, more vintage growl, but it lacks the extreme output and tonal shaping of active pickups.
Yes, bolted necks generally offer a snappier, more direct response and are often preferred for their quicker feel and ease of adjustment, though set-necks are typically considered more stable.
Wenge is a relatively dense wood, so occasional conditioning with a fretboard oil is recommended to prevent dryness and cracking, maintaining playability and tone.
